Ouest de Essex, Californie.
This was the second section for a video clip I was making of doing an alignment. I didn't finish out the video, due to some computer crash glitches.
Another dialog, again with a temporary icon. This was a difficult dialog to make, because I'm quite clueless on how to explain these operations.
In this screenshot, I've moused over "Match reward" and thus an explanation of the term appears in the beveled JLabel at the bottom.
We started Day 2 of our 15-day trip with a complicated loop that involved backtracking over 10 miles of highway to see old wagon ruts at a Nebraska rest area on the wrong side of Interstate 80. If you've been following this page for eleven months, you might remember that I tried racing the sun to see these ruts the last time we went this way and lost. We still didn't know which path we'd take heading home in a couple of weeks, so I made sure to get the picture now.
These weird wheels sitting on a couple of rows of bricks mark the remnant tracks left by wagons that passed this way a couple of centuries ago along the Platte River road, the path Euro-American settlers took in the early-to-mid 19th century when they started heading West. A lot of people call this the Overland Trail, but that's just a catch-all name applied late in the process of Westward Expansion by the Butterfield Stagecoach Company. This is the corridor the roads have always followed, going way back thousands of years to trails the native people used. In the early 18th century, settler types with covered wagons called this the Oregon Trail or the California Trail or the Bozeman Trail or the Mormon Trail or a bunch of other names, depending on where they meant to split off later. In Nebraska, it was always the same trail hugging the Platte.
Like the Platte, the trail usually spread out over the landscape into a braided river of ruts, and there wasn't any specific path the wagons followed, but this spot near the modern Nebraska town of Sutherland was different. There used to be a landscape feature here called O'Fallon's Bluff, a low but steep face of barren, alkali rock that ran 20 miles along the river. The pioneer trails followed the bluff for most of its length, and they climbed up on top of it through a narrow pass right here. So this was a choke point, one of the only spots in the entire sea of grass covering all of Nebraska where the wagons had to take a single track. This made the ruts deeper here and more durable, though even then, you can barely see them in this picture. I found them hard to pick out in person.
The choke-point nature of O'Fallon's Bluff is less clear today in large part because of that interstate highway you can see down there. They built the highway right on top of O'Fallon's Bluff, and the great earthworks machines flattened the bluff and plowed it under so that you don't even see it anymore. The highway runs right on top of the wagon path for much of the route here from North Platte. The ramp on the east side of the rest area swallows these ruts just down the hill. Everything about this landscape has changed. Only this tiny segment of ruts still hides in the grass like ghosts.
A couple of facts about O'Fallon's Bluff:
* I don't know what made the soil and water here so alkaline, but it was obvious to the settler pioneers who travelled this way. They wrote in their diaries of bitter water and a bare landscape with almost no vegetation. According to the Wikipedia, a traveler named Emily Towell wrote, "There were few flowers to be seen, only withered poppies, prickly pears and sunflowers. Now and then we glimpsed a few spears of green grass." I guess they fixed that when they built the interstate. Or maybe fertilizers off the farm fields next to the rest area have mitigated the issue.
* This spot was a common location for fights between settler pioneers and native people, and US cavalrymen documented dozens of "Indian attacks" in this stretch of trail. Thirteen Cheyenne warriors killed a man named Almon Babbitt and two unnamed companions right here in 1856. The choke point probably made this a good place to ambush people you didn't like.
* The Donner Party passed this way on June 18, 1846. The diaries don't say what they had for lunch.
* I will have the opportunity to make more Donner Party jokes toward the end of this trip.

Final alignment specs. The suspension will settle after being driven, so camber and caster will get better as the suspension settles to its ride height.

To align the chip in my Starlight Xpress camera I built a jig on which the camera could be rotated by putting the 2" extension tube on some rollers. It is a bit 'Heath-Robinson' but it worked very well.

Part of the Alignements de Lampouy in Brittany, Northern France. Again, these alignments are a few thousand years old. We found them because of a brochure in the camping registration area -- there was a map of sites in the area, and we noticed tiny menhir icons on it. As we drove around on the back roads, there were road signs as well. Read my travelogue for trip details. September 2007.
