I woke up on November 6th, 2020 to a ton of Messenger notifications telling me that NS 8105 was on the point of CP 244 with an NS dash 9 trailing - and that it had been stuck in Lobo siding just outside of London for a few hours. I decided to hustle over to the Denfield Road bridge, and was greeted by a couple other railfans. Indeed, there it was on the siding with the switch set against it...all due to train 141, which was working Quebec Street yard downtown. We waited quite a while, and caught a couple of CN trains in the meantime on the Strathroy Sub which is situated right next to the CP Windsor Sub at Denfield. More railfans showed up over the course of the hour and a half. 8105 was the first NS heritage unit to come our way in a little while. Eventually, 141 did leave the yard and it was only approximately two minutes after he cleared when 244 became lined out of the siding.
El banco de estar de p.m.😂
Bueno, o el banco de los lobitos. Era muy raro que este asiento del puerto no estuviera colonizado por un lobo de mar en actitud, como podréis ver, muy muy preocupada.😉
Un abrazote!

Almost miraculously, Point Lobos escaped development as it passed from one owner to another. There was once a whaling station and a granite quarry here, a shipping point for a coal mine, and the site of an abalone cannery. Much of Point Lobos was once proposed as a town site. Finally, the land was acquired by an owner who appreciated its unique qualities. When, with the help of the Save-the-Redwoods League, it passed into the trusteeship of the State of California in 1933, Point Lobos still had much of its primitive, wild character. The most beautiful areas of the Reserve can be seen only on foot.
Point Lobos is the well-deserving subject of the often repeated quote by landscape artist Francis McComas: "The greatest meeting of land and water in the world." I don’t disagree. (Point Lobos State Reserve, CA)

Sol de Mayo
El origen de este paraje se remonta a mediados del siglo XIX, época en que las Postas de Diligencias cubrían las necesidades de troperos y mayorales. Estos importantes comercios instalados en medio de la inmensidad de la pampa prestaban servicio de reposición de caballos a las diligencias que transitaban, como único medio de transporte, con pasajeros y encomiendas. Por el año 1859 los señores Segundo Villafañe y Hnos. tenían la concesión de la diligencia “El Sol de Mayo” con sede en Rivadavia 437 de la Capital Federal , operaba la ruta Lobos y de ahí a 25 de Mayo, la primera posta era La Irene, viejo paraje situado en el deslinde de los Partidos de Lobos y Navarro...la segunda parada que la diligencia se hacía en la Posta de Sol de Mayo, en el partido de Navarro. (”Navarro, Pagos de Juan Moreira”– Martín G. Duhalde–1979-Pág. 49). Su ubicación geográfica lo ubica en el extremo sur del partido, y parte de sus campos lindan con el Río Salado, frontera natural del distrito. Desde esos tiempos se conformó este paraje que concentraba centenas de habitantes en su zona de influencia, llegando a tener una población de 1.300 vecinos. Hoy, el éxodo rural lo ha convertido en un paraje rural con reducido número de vecinos.

Sol de Mayo
The origin of this place dates back to the middle of the 19th century, when the Postas de Diligencias covered the needs of troperos and mayorales. These important shops installed in the middle of the immensity of the Pampa provided service of replacement of horses to the stagecoaches that passed, as the only means of transport, with passengers and parcels. By the year 1859 Mr. Segundo Villafañe and Hnos. Had the concession of the diligence "El Sol de Mayo" with headquarters in Rivadavia 437 of the Federal Capital, operated the Lobos route and from there to May 25, the first post was La Irene, old place located in the demarcation of the parties of Wolves and Navarrese ... the second stop that the diligence was made in the Posta de Sol de Mayo, in the party of Navarro. ("Navarro, Payments of Juan Moreira" - Martín G. Duhalde-1979-Pg. 49). Its geographical location places it at the southern end of the district, and part of its fields border the Rio Salado, the natural border of the district. Since that time this place was formed that concentrated hundreds of inhabitants in its area of influence, reaching a population of 1,300 residents. Today, the rural exodus has turned it into a rural area with a small number of neighbors.
The center of our attention is focused on the Pulperia "Sol de Mayo", its Owner, Mr. Ruben Giles and his family, whom we remember with great affection and we thank for your hospitality.

Aún hay vándalos por la zona. Y alanos. Y niñatos.

El 14 de marzo es el aniversario del nacimiento y muerte de Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente y al igual que otros muchos me gustaría rendirle un pequeño homenaje con esta foto de sus grandes amigos, los lobos, tomada en el Centro de Interpretación del Lobo Ibérico.
Profundo cañón calizo formado por una antigua e intensa erosión fluvial del río Lobos. Se sitúa en las sierras de pie de monte que separan las estribaciones de la Cordillera Ibérica y la alta meseta del Duero. El río se encajona desde Burgos y continúa horadando las calizas cretácicas en Soria recorriendo más de 25 km.
Este espacio natural fue declarado Parque Natural en 1985 y comprende una superficie de 9580 has.
La formación más espectacular es el propio Cañón fruto de la doble acción erosiva, de desgaste y, sobre todo, de disolución de la roca por el agua, siendo más vivo el hundimiento del lecho al ceder las grutas subterráneas, por lo que aparecen las típicas zonas cóncavas o lermas en los flancos del cañón, que además son muy vistosas por los teñidos de óxidos y aguas que escurre
This White-tailed Deer presented a golden photo opportunity while my brother and sister in law and I were visiting Point Lobos state park at Carmel, California on April 22, 2010. I was able to stay close to him, as he was near the road and I could take my photos through the car window.
