*HM 134*
-- Trans-Sierran Pioneer Flight (March 22, 1919) --

Location: Carson City

NOTES: This marker is located along the sidewalk of US 50, yet makes itself surprisingly very hidden when you're trying to spot it along busy William Street. If you're heading eastbound on US 50, the landmark is located JUST PAST Saliman Road. Look to your right to find it next to a newspaper stand just past Auto Zone.
Description:
The small 'road' with yellow lines is actually the Carson City/Kit Carson Bike Route. 
Originating at Mather Field in Sacramento, four U.S. Army planes completed the first authenticated flight over the Sierra, landing here, in an improvised field. In addition, Governor Boyle flew as a passenger in one of the planes on its return flight to Sacramento, making him the first civilian ever to cross the Sierras by air.
Notice the empty field in the left b.g. This is the original site of the landing.
