Swapped loads with another driver this morning. He needed to go home and the load I had would get him closer to home than the load he was on. Fortunately we would be crossing paths in Moriarty, New Mexico. His load was going to Ogden, Utah, so with the swap I'll deliver the Ogden load tomorrow and then go home and not be back on the road until Tuesday. Pretty lucky for both of us.
This picture was taken in New Mexico about 35 miles from Shiprock, NM. This castle like formation is right off US-491. I've driven by in many times, but always during at time of the day when the light was terrible and or either overcast, or cloudless. Well today was about as good of conditions as I could ask for.
Oh, my hip is better, still sore, but getting better. Thanks for all the kind words about the injury, I appreciate all of you.
This rock formation stands like a citadel at the top of Jacob's Ladder. In these wet and misty conditions it really does look like a fortress protecting the upper reaches of Ben Lomond.

The School on the Hill (Romanian: Școala din deal; German: Bergschule) is an educational institution in Sighișoara, Romania. It is located next to the covered wooden Stairs, bears Schola Seminarium Republicae and is dated 1619. Its formal name is the Joseph Haltrich High School (Liceul Teoretic Joseph Haltrich).
The school was first mentioned in a document from 1522, which referred to a rector scholae with the academic degree of baccalaureus, to whom the City Council offered a coat worth four guilders for his merits and "to try his best with the youngsters".
The forbidding entrance to the Citadel, the centre piece of the massive 19th Century Western Heights fortifications at Dover, designed to defend the town in the event of an attack by the Napoleonic hordes. More recently it was used to keep people in, firstly young offenders, then up to 2015, asylum-seekers.

The Royal Throne Fortress of Suceava, also known as Cetatea de Scaun a Sucevei or Suceava Citadel, is located in Suceava, Romania. Built in the late 14th century by Petru I of Moldavia, it served as the residence for Moldavian princes until the late 16th century. The fortress was a key defensive structure against Ottoman invasions. Heavily damaged over time, especially during World War II, it has undergone restoration and is now a museum and tourist attraction.
Landskrona Citadel or Landskrona Castle is a fortress in Landskrona, Skåne County.
The citadel is one of the Nordic region's best-preserved water fortresses from the 16th century with a well-preserved moat system. It has also been a prison. Here is both an old dungeon and a prison tower.
The Danish king Christian III decided in 1549 to build a fortress in Landskrona. It was built over a period of just over 10 years as a square castle with four towers and a surrounding moat.
After Landskrona became Swedish, the fortress was strengthened very strongly and in 1667-75 the external defense system was built with the large bastioned earth walls.
A marvel of both grace and strength, the Citadel de Seraphis stands as the unshakable heart of the Southern Kingdom. Its towering spires reach toward the heavens, sculpted with an elegance that speaks not only of the artistry of its builders but of the might that drives its purpose. Perched proudly above the city, the Citadel surveys the vast landscape, its alabaster walls gleaming in the sun like a beacon of hope and power.
A sanctuary for the brightest minds and most gifted souls, the Citadel beckons all who seek the pursuit of knowledge. Within its hallowed halls, the boundaries between beauty and strength blur, as the Citadel de Seraphis embodies the very spirit of the Southern Kingdom—radiant, unyielding, and eternal.
