Good Buddy Denny Back to Cruising-- Part 1: US-20 East, Yellowstone Trail West

Yesterday I was able to meet my good buddy Denny who is on US Highway 20 and has been since leaving its western terminus in Oregon.  He had already taken one of the lesser-known, but still major road for its time, the Yellowstone Trail from Plymouth, Massachusetts, to the Puget Sound in Washington State.

This guy likes to travel.  He left on June on June 6, 2021, and drove north from his home in Cincinnati to US 20 in the northern part of the state where he headed east to its eastern terminus in Boston.

From there, he went a little north to catch the Yellowstone Trail, which gives you a good idea as to where its eastern end is with its logo "A Good Road from Plymouth Rock to Puget Sound."  There's a clue as to its western terminus.

The Yellowstone Trail is the first transcontinental Road through the northern tier of states, established in 1912, even before the much-better known Lincoln Highway in 1913.  From Plymouth, he headed west along the route of the old Yellowstone Trail.

Since we live only about 30 miles from the old Yellowstone Trail in Illinois, I was hoping to get up with him when he passed through, but we were unable to do so.  But, he was coming back on US Highway 20, and that too is inly about 30 miles away as well.
