Mooring line on a dock at Astoria Marine Construction Company (AMCC) located at the confluence of Jeffers Slough and the Lewis and Clark River - Astoria, OR.
Factoid:
Astoria Marine Construction, originally called Astoria Shipbuilding, was started in 1924. AMCC was originally a builder of fishing boats but became a leading builder of pleasure craft, including the Columbia River One Design. During the 1920s-1950s, AMCC built minesweepers, tugs and patrol boats for the military. It continues in business today as a repair yard.
During the almost nine decades of operation, chemicals used in boat building and repair have contaminated soil, groundwater and sediments. Investigations at the site revealed the petroleum, organotins, and heavy metals among the contaminants. The site has been proposed to the EPA's National Priorities List of contaminated sites.

Mason-Dixon Line marker on the Appalachian Trail in Maryland-Pennsylvania border.
The Mason–Dixon line, a boundary line separating four U.S. states, forming borders of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia (part of Virginia until 1863).
The border was determined by survey between 1763 and 1767 by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon for the resolution of a land dispute involving Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware in the colonial U.S.
The largest portion of the Mason–Dixon line, along the southern Pennsylvania border, later became informally known as the boundary between the Southern slave states and Northern free states.

Five-lined Skink (Eumeces fasciatus) - Great Falls National Park, Virginia
I found this guy hunting worms, and ants on the rocky shores of the Potomac River.

Following withdrawal from normal service, two units were converted to Class 960 departmental units in 2001 for further use as cab-signalling test units. The two units concerned were reduced in length to 3-car units, and were based at the test track at Old Dalby in Leicestershire. Both units were painted in a blue and white livery.
The Lavender Line formed part of the Lewes to Uckfield Railway when it was opened on 18 October 1858. Within 12 months of its opening, the branch had been integrated into the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) to safeguard the company’s interests east of its London to Brighton main line. Ten years from its opening, Isfield saw through workings from Brighton to Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, via a new Uckfield–Groombridge link. The Bluebell Railway originally branched off the Lavender Line at Culver Junction, near Culver Farm between Lewes and Barcombe Mills. This junction closed in 1958 with the closure of the East Grinstead to Lewes line.
Following its closure in 1969 the track was removed in 1970 and the station at Isfield was neglected and became overgrown. After fourteen years of disuse, it was auctioned in June 1983 by British Rail and sold for £60,500 to Dave and Gwen Milham who restored the station and signal box and laid the first sections of track. Ownership of the station passed from the Milham family in 1991 and it is run by the Lavender Line Preservation Society.
The line was named 'The Lavender Line' with a historical connection in mind: A.E. Lavender and Sons were the local coal merchants who had operated from the station yard
