Fine with me, as long as it's well-written and wamarkable sites clearly defined. It is a challenge to be objective and still be flexible, to be inclusive without allowing every common spot to clutter the category. But, there is a story, and history worth telling here! Who's up to the challenge?

Yellowstone Trail

From the yellowstone trail organization web site

"In 1912, a group of small town businessmen in South Dakota undertook an 
ambitious project to create a useful automobile route, the Yellowstone 
Trail, across America. This was at a time when roads weren't marked, there 
were few maps and slippery mud was the usual road surface. The Yellowstone 
Trail Association located a route, motivated road improvements, produced 
maps and folders to guide the traveler, and promoted tourism along its 
length. It became a leader in stimulating tourist travel to the Northwest 
and motivating good roads across America. The Lincoln Highway Association, 
formed in 1913 by industrialists, created a similar route across the U. S., 
but used big organizational and public relation budgets.

Today, almost all of the route of the Yellowstone Trail is on slower, less 
traveled roads. Some sections of the Trail, especially in the West, have 
remained little changed and are a delight to visit."

We have Route 66, the Lincoln Highway, the Pacific Highway. the Dixie 
Highway, and the National Road (U.S. 40).  Seems like we should add 
this one, too.

Sound good?
