" All-weather roads crossed much of the nation by the mid 1930s; the system of numbered US highways had been introduced in 1926. Prior to that "named highways" like the Lincoln Highway or Yellowstone Trail had signs directing you from town to town coast to coast or border to border. By 1940 even most state highways were paved meaning you could reach almost any town in the country. The first arduous cross-country journeys were made in the teens but by the late 1930s it was commonplace for a middle-class family to make an auto trip of several hundred miles to vacation in a national park or to visit relatives. In The Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck writes about the cross-country journey made via U. S. 66 by hundreds of Okies to California looking for work.

Original photograph. Group Portrait taken at completion of Mount Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railway.

1896GG01662Mt. Tamalpais: c. 1896-98. 1896. 29.2 x 22.5 cm. Albumen photo mounted on card. Inscribed "On Mt. Tamalpais across the bay from San Francisco. C.J.S. with the RR Commissioners." Very good. Group Portrait of about 43 persons possibly tourists accompanied by the Railroad Commissioners including 2 women plus on the left two open railway cars filled with people. This photograph was taken at the opening of the route which was in 1896. The railroad commissioners at the time were H.M. La Rue James I. Stanton and William R. Clark. 40 men 2 women and 1 young man all well-dressed stand and sit on a sunlit platform beside the railway. Inside the railcars additional women and children are obscured by shadows. 10 show a badge or citation! on their coats â€“ not known what these represent. "The Mill Valley railroad operated from about 1896 to 1930. It included about 8.2 miles of winding track and was advertised as "the crookedest railroad in the world."" â€“ Adrian Rodriguez Marin Independent Journal 03/17/2018. marinij. Note: Frank Ransome was the official photographer for the railroad nearly his whole life. He signed his work on the verso not viewed on this piece mounted on cardboard but additionally this does not appear to be like any of his known work as judged by Tamalpais railroad historian Fred Runner. Runner also notes traces of the weather station built in 1898 but cannot be viewed here as the summit is not shown. Either the image is 'opening day' with a group including the RR Commissioners or it is 2 years later and the entire group is made up of tourists enjoying the ride â€“ but this does not explain the inscription alluding to the presence of the RR Commissioners appointed by the state. "Important groups came to Tamalpais. William Kent brought groups of congressmen to Tamalpais to show them what a public nature park might be. Muir Woods was his creation and he was an important co-author of the "Organic Act" that created the National Park Service in 1916 to fund run and manage the National Parks of America." â€“ Correspondence with Runner.
