2019 MVPA Transcontinental Convoy-- Part 2: That's A Long Way
The convoy will follow the original Lincoln Highway as much as possible. The old road crosses all of or part of eleven states going to San Francisco and the convoy will be joining it at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The route begins in the lowlands of of the eastern seaboard, traverses the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, travels the lush farmlands of the Midwest, crosses the high plains, dips into the Great Salt Lake Basin in Utah, crosses the Nevada Desert, climbs the Sierra Nevada and descends into Lake Tahoe, and ends up in the splendor of California and the San Francisco Bay Area.
This is a convoy of historic military vehicles of all eras, from World War II to current. The vehicle roster making the trip includes cargo trucks, through to Harley-Davidson WLA motorcycles, staff cars, jeeps, to later model M913 5-ton cargo trucks. The Convoys' many daily stopping spots include many of the same ones used by the historic 1919 Convoy.
