this is a terrible and quickly taken picture, but it captures josie's absolute joy at one of her favorite gifts, a train whistle, hat and scarf. josie loooooves trains, and insisted on bringing all three to bed with her, and wearing them to school today as well. and, you might as well get to wear your engineer hat to school when you are two.
also, thank you! alice for the gift, and also- ow! that big old train whistle hurts if you are bopped with it at four in the morning when your daughter has a croupy cough and won't leave her train whistle in HER bed when you bring her into YOUR bed to keep a closer eye on her poor little coughing head.

Gordon Murray and his gang at McLaren pushed the engineering as far as they could with the F1. They used gold leaf linings in the engine and exhaust compartments to reflect the heat away from other parts of the car. What would be bling on another car is hard at work on the F1 -- and hidden away.

An epic trip - 6-hours, 30-miles from Ouray to Lake City, Colorado - with rough rocky patches, switchbacks, shelf roads, and sweeping vistas all the way, reaching almost 13,000 feet at the summit. A Jeep Badge of Honor trail for good reason.
From TrailsOffroad.com: In the late 1800’s, miners started digging for gold, silver, lead and other ore in the San Juan Mountains. They needed a way to get people and the ore out to the nearby towns. Those roads left by the long-abandoned mines are now some of the most famous off-road trails in the books. Engineer Pass, a 30-mile trail, is one of them and is part of a trail now known as the Alpine Loop.
There are multiple mine ruins to view and explore the grounds of along the way including the Hard Tack Mine and the Michael Breen Mine.
Mile after mile provides new and more amazing views of Colorado and the San Juan mountains. Oh Point and the official summit have breath-taking panoramas of the mountains.
This trail goes well above the timberline at just over 12,900’. With the altitude comes stunning views of the mountains to the north including the Uncompahgre, Coxcomb, Wetterhorn and Wildhorse mountain peaks. The view is so expansive at Oh Point that on a very clear day, you might be able to see all the way to Utah if you turn your eyes to the west.
Engineer Don Hepler looks to the rear while backing his train out to the main line for our departure.
It's not much of a fight

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District took part in a ground-breaking ceremony for the new Vogelweh Elementary School Nov. 22, 2016. The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers-led and German-contracted project is expected to be complete by summer 2019. Officials with Department of Defense Education Activity, USAG Rheinland-Pfalz, Air Force and host nation construction agents also participated in the ceremony. The new elementary school is designed to support DoDEA’s 21st-century teaching and learning model. There will be neighborhoods instead of halls or wings, and learning studios instead of classrooms. The facility will be student-centered and replace aging buildings from as early as the 1950s. It will feature a commons area with a performance stage; an information center; physical education spaces; an art room; flex labs; a music room; and a teaching garden. Staff, visitor and bus parking, and new play areas will also be part of the project. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Lori Egan)
Before construction of the flood control channel in 1969 by the County of San Bernardino, with the assistance of local engineer Bill Hatch, raging flash flood waters used to wash across this land. Flowing down from 49 Palms Canyon, in what is now Joshua Tree National Park, the water would rush out to where 29 Palms Highway is now located, continue east around Donnell Hill, and down through the center of downtown 29 Palms. While business owners lamented this deluge with its rushing waters ruining their stores, the children of town would joyously ride the waves in their inner-tubes and boats. This 18- by 40-boot mural portrays, in a series of vignettes, the famous desert flash flood days of the 1940s. Painted by artist Art Mortimer of Santa Monica, CA, the mural is located at 6248 Adobe Road, on the north facing wall of the Peking Inn. Dedicated: June 13, 1998.
Artist: Art Mortimer of Santa Monica, CA
Mural #13 - Flash Flood
About the Muralist
Dedication Date: June 13, 1998
Locaton: Peking Inn
Appropriately timed for our El Nino year of 1998, artist Art Mortimer of Santa Monica was commissioned to paint Twentynine Palms Mural #13, "Flash Flood." While the spring wildflower bloom of the century was happening all around him--a result of our prolific El Nino winter rain--Mortimer's beautifully detailed artwork began to bloom on the wall during April and May, and was unveiled in June. Recreating a downtown of days gone by, when early desert children used to ride the flood waters down the main road after a good rain, Mortimer created a series of historical vignettes depicting the flash flood waters originating from 49 Palms Oasis in the Joshua Tree National Park and raging down through the valley into the business area of Twentynine Palms. During his stay here, Mortimer was housed at the guest house of Ada Hatch, widow of pioneer and local engineer Bill Hatch, who was credited with helping to create the flood control channel in 1969 that eventually diverted these raging waters. Being adopted by the entire Hatch family and others in town, who treated him to hours of stories about the wet and wild days in the desert, helped this die-hard coastal dweller appreciate the magic and power of the desert waters he was portraying. Mortimer said he was grateful for the local hospitality, and was quoted as saying "the only drawback to Twentynine Palms was the lack of an ocean view."
As one of Los Angeles' original muralists, Art Mortimer has taken on such subjects as Jewish community history and regional diversity. He serves on the board of directors of the Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles and teaches classes in schools and communities. Inspired by Terry Schoonhoven, the Los Angeles Fine Arts Squad, and Impressionism, Mortimer painted his first mural in 1971 on the side of his Santa Monica home. Since then, he has painted more than 60 murals, including public artworks in Billings, Montana, New York City, and Susanville, California, and in numerous communities along the California coast.

Located on Marne Road adjacent to Martin Army Community Hospital, the complex includes an administrative building, soldier and family assistance center (SFAC), and five-story barracks facility. Construction on the complex began March 2010 and was completed November 2011. The project was executed in two phases and two separate contract actions - one for the barracks and overall site work and the second for the administrative facilities and SFAC.
