From Dirt to Asphalt: Transforming Donner Pass 

Lord Willing, I’m gonna drive U.S. 40 across N. California. It won’t be in a Model A ( Dad sold the one he drove to High school back in 88) so will have to drive it in my Chevy PU. Every time I get out my Atlas, my wife rolls her eyes and asks where I’m going this time. time for a new one, the old one is wore out……. LOL ! Thanks for a quick trip and the history lesson

Thank you for a well put together video of “ the old road” it’s next on my bucket list.

Beautifully well done Vidio . ..without history ,there is no future.

Great video thanks! Live in South Lake Tahoe did not know those petroglyphs existed! Going to have to go check it out

How did I miss this? Great video with a charming interpretive host, Don Schmidt. Love the new Donner Memorial State Park Visitor Center

Very nice informative video....Greatly enjoyed it...

3:05 Old School Bad Ass!!!!!! LOL :)

🔴 Happy to have found this video again!!! =8^)

great video. lets just hope people will learn and appreciate the beauty of the countryside. and that there is more to life than iPhone,iPad, iwhatever...

That’s awesome very nice

Turned that Flying A gas station into engles real estate office lol

The pass and lake should be named after a Indian Chief who took great care of the Mountains❤️🙏🏼

Awesome video!!

reminds me of the plot for lightning mcqueen

didn't they install the freeway for the 1960 Winter Olympics at Lake Tahoe? I thought I read or heard long time ago if there was no freeway, there would be no Olympics.

kool , thanx

wow--interstate 80 opened when I was 8 years old? that;s not that long ago ! lol

I got stuck on old hwy 40 when I was driving it during the winter and had to pay 800 dollars for the damages done to my truck

Horror misery spooky

Where are the Native Americans we ran off to make the road? 🤷

I always thought that the Sierras were incredibly beautiful. Then I went to the Italian Dolomites. The Sierras seem like a boring set of hills in comparison.
