Miles from nowhere
Not a soul in sight
Oh yeah, but it's alright
--- Cat Stevens
US 6 between Tonopah and Ely, Nevada
If you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
And the land that I once loved is not my own
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two,
Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
A hundred tanks along the square
One man stands and stops them there
Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free
I'll be free, I'll be free
I'll come home to my country
Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free
If you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone

Rode through Seaside, Monterey's Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row, Pebble Beach and its 17-Mile Drive, and Carmel.
I called it a day and managed to find a place for the night and a hot meal in Carmel.

Embarking on a new discovery for me, Infrared photography. I’ve embraced it during the last few days in Derbyshire while looking after two of my grandchildren in Chapel en le Frith. The appeal was obvious as I love black white photography and it’s ideally suited for my dog walks in summer. Maybe the Peak District was not the right place to start this journey, the place is beautiful and I couldn’t help snapping photos wherever, whenever. Getting these photos back in LR OMG, underwhelmed was not the word. Then I came to this photo and the Lyric’s to a Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam to the Young’uns) song came into mind… “Miles from nowhere, Guess I'll take my time Oh yeah, to reach there. Look up at the mountain, mmm I have to climb, Oh yeah, to reach there”. I guess they sum up where IR photography is forme. Do you think I'll reach there?.
(Cat Stevens, paraphrased)
Miles from nowhere
Guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there
Look up at the mountains, mmm
I've had to climb
Oh yeah, to reach there
Lord, my body has been a good friend
But I won't need it when I reach the end
Miles from nowhere
Not a soul in sight
Oh yeah, but it's alright
I have my freedom
I can make my own rules
Oh yes, the ones that I choose
Lord, my body has been a good friend
But I won't need it when I reach the end
Miles from nowhere
Guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there
(Update on doggie neighbor Maggie: we saw her yesterday morning, so she's still hanging in there. John corrected us on her age, she's not sixteen...she's seventeen!)

One of the things I wanted to see in our road trip is Lund where Mile 0 of Highway 101 starts/ends.
“Mile 0” of Highway 101 is located at Lund BC, at the north end of the Pacific Coastal Route (see route below) on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast. Lund has the initial/final leg of the Pacific Coastal Highway, one of the longest highways in the world, which ends in Chile, approximately 15,202km south.
Best viewed large.
The Royal Mile runs between two significant locations in the royal history of Scotland: Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace. The total length of the streets between the Castle and the Palace is almost exactly a mile (1.6 km), hence the name. The streets which make up the Royal Mile are (west to east) Castlehill, the Lawnmarket, the High Street, the Canongate and Abbey Strand. The Royal Mile is the busiest tourist street in the Old Town, rivalled only by Princes Street in the New Town. Quoted from Wikipedia
The Tron Kirk is a former principal parish church in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is a well-known landmark on the Royal Mile. It was built in the 17th century and closed as a church in 1952. Having stood empty for over fifty years, it was used briefly as a tourist information centre and, more recently, has been re-opened as the site of the Edinburgh World Heritage Exhibition and John Kay’s book and gift shop.

The Day Gas finds itself just east of Dixon, MT on the MRL 10th Sub. On this day October 26, 2024 the Day Gas had departed late from Missoula shortly after 0800, thus making the return trip back to Missoula in the middle of the afternoon. Clocking in at about 40mph MRL 4400/4406 cruises eastward with about 30 some odd miles left til Missoula.

The photo is taken at the Raabjerg Mile area (a huge area of sand drift) south-west of the town.
I got up to do a few things and Miles took over my chair!
I held him in my lap for almost an hour when I returned.

This dreary and colorless November afternoon had me hoping for an early Spring. The mood of that sky brought to mind some lyrics from an old Ian & Sylvia number:
"Wild geese flyin' by
Callin' on the downwind as they go
No answer they send
And springtime has too many miles to flow. . . ."
Another addition to my "Milepost" Series. This is along Highway 12 in Idaho. Highway 12 cuts accross north central Idaho connecting Washington and Montana. It's one of the most beautiful drives in the country.

A breathtaking road stretches through the rugged landscapes of Arizona and Utah, flanked by towering red rock formations and majestic mountains. The sun casts a golden hue over the sandstone cliffs, highlighting their layered history—millions of years of geological evolution shaped by wind and water. This iconic route has long been a passage for travelers, from Native American tribes who first inhabited the land to pioneers and modern explorers seeking the untamed beauty of the American Southwest. The vast open sky, the winding asphalt cutting through the desert, and the towering mesas on either side create a scene both timeless and awe-inspiring, embodying the spirit of the Wild West.
