Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / March 2008Interstate 80 in Reno; Sierra Nevadas
Hi Viatologists, As a well-sought destination along Interstate 80 (...including former US Federal Route 40 and the Lincoln Highway), Reno was put onto the map for its gambling, booze and straight-out good times. While many think of Reno as a desert town, they may not realise that the city gets its share of snow in the wintertime. The Worldwide Highway Library, the *first* viatologist's website to largely devote roadside coverage in large cities domestic and abroad, now offers a view of Interstate 80 *in* the shadowlands of the Sierras and less than a kilometre west of US Federal Route 395: http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com/tmp/1403/ You may notice this file's in the temp directory. What does that mean? Well, all files in the "temporary" directory get purged after several days. That said, be sure to visit soon and catch the snow this time around! For more pictures of Interstate 80, from California, Nevada, Utah and beyond, the Worldwide Highway Library is your premier source for the USA's cross-continental highway.

Wrong. > While many > think of Reno as a desert town, Wrong. > they may not realise that the city gets its share of snow in the wintertime. Wrong. Actually, I will personally guarantee you that these days (the wintry days) far more people from California come to the Reno area with the intention of skiing, snowboarding, and various other winter-time activities. Of course they'll probably gamble while they are here, but to say that people come to Reno to gamble is not entirely accurate. >> Hi Viatologists, >> [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] >activities. Of course they'll probably gamble while they are here, but >to say that people come to Reno to gamble is not entirely accurate. Reno ain't got much in anything. Downtown takes up what? 5 blocks? You can walk from one end to the other in less than an hour? Stopping off in every casino for a few minutes on the way. -- A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

No sorry. http://www.lincolnhighwayassoc.org/info/nv/ Reno, being near the capital city of Carson, was put on the map because of that. Among other reasons. But not for gambling. About the only people who think of it as a desert town might be those who live in NYC and never been anywhere else. >The Worldwide Highway Library, the *first* viatologist's website to >largely devote roadside coverage in large cities domestic and abroad, >now offers a view of Interstate 80 *in* the shadowlands of the Sierras >and less than a kilometre west of US Federal Route 395: wow. >http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com/tmp/1403/ > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >your premier source for the USA's cross-continental highway.

It means you're constantly screwing around with the files so you can keep peppering away with new pronouncements about the same pictures to try to increase your site hits. BFD!!!! SignatureDon't forget to have your troll spayed or neutered > Hi Viatologists, > > As a well-sought destination along Interstate 80 (...including former > US Federal Route 40 and the Lincoln Highway), And by "former" I take it you mean that it's back to being a regular US Route instead of a non-existent US Federal Route? Please clarify. > The Worldwide Highway Library, the *first* viatologist's website and the *only* one, for that matter... Which reminds me, other than "something Carl made up to irk English speaking strangers online worldwide" (paraphrased) I still haven't gotten a clear answer on what "viatologist" is suppose to mean.

Anybody know? Ahhhh, glasshoppah, you have divined the true meaning of 'viatologist.' Only by by remembering that Carl has this for his underlying motive for many things will you find inner peace. That, and he's always trolling for site hits to get his hit count up.

The full etymology (or is that entomology?) is here: Message-ID: <mfCzi.1646$vU4.969@nlpi068.nbdc.sbc.com> or http://groups.google.com/group/misc.transport.road/msg/d15524d8f7b0244d?hl=en Signature"Dave's not here, man!" - Tommy Chong >>> Hi Viatologists, >>> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > http://groups.google.com/group/misc.transport.road/msg/d15524d8f7b0244d?hl=en My favorite part of that: "The term "via" refers to one of the earliest highways in western history, the Appian Way (Via Appia)." Or, you know, it could "refer" to itself, what with "via" just being the Latin word for "road" or "street" (and surviving as the Italian word for street). What a pompous a.s; he actually thought he was being clever here. In light of that, I was surprised that in the discussion of previous uses of the term nobody mentioned James Lin's old link site from before the turn of the century: ViaGuide (later AboutVia, which is still accessible although not updated in years).

Could you possibly move all of WHL to this purging temp directory? > Hi Viatologists, > > As a well-sought destination along Interstate 80 Never mind this stupid West Coast stuff. How about a nice picture of a cow path in Tennessee? That's more important than irrelevant Western stuff. |
