My sentiments about the inexorable approach into 2025.
Shot in Manchester, Vermont with the Olympus E-M1, Mark II and Olympus M.12-40mm F2.8 Pro Lens.
Eastward train No.50 headed for Waterloo on the ex-Illinois Central Chicago to Omaha main. Ackley was once the diamond crossing with the Minneapolis & St Louis Ry main line between Mason City and Marshalltown. Today the east west line is operated by the CN. The M&StL is abandoned to the north, while the connection track here in the foreground connects to the Iowa River RR shortline that goes to a small ethanol plant about nine miles south of Ackley.
At 5:08 p.m., September 24, 2025, the UP OCS has exited Bootleger Canyon and Tunnel and is heading north (timetable east) toward Brendel. The train is in long shadows at mile 24, about to enter an extended vertical-walled rock cut.
Doc and I have spent a lot of time along the Yukon River over the past 44 years. Just a short distance south of Whitehorse you will find a narrow road leading to Miles Canyon. It is well worth the drive. The scenery is spectacular, and you get to cross over the river on a wooden suspension footbridge. That in itself is a thrill, (especially if you are afraid of heights) - and looking down into the swirling Yukon River below, can be just a tad intimidating as well. See those trails along the canyon? You are free to roam all over the area, but you best be careful, because if you get too close to the edge you would disappear in a few seconds.
**1898 The Gold Rush
During the Klondike Gold Rush, the thousands of stampeders travelling down the Yukon River to Dawson - Miles Canyon and the Whitehorse Rapids were the most treacherous obstacles on the entire route. Canyon City, at the upstream end of the canyon, was the place where people stopped to plan their next move. Many unloaded their boats and laboriously portaged their goods.
By June 1898 a huge bottleneck had developed at Canyon City. Nearly 300 boats had been wrecked in the rapids, and five people had drowned; North-West Mounted Police Inspector Samuel Steele confessed: "why more casualties have not occurred is a mystery to me." Steele issued an order that skilled pilots had to be hired to take the boats through.
By then, a tramway had been built on the east bank of the river. It was eight km long and ran from Canyon City to the foot of the rapids, just across from the present site of downtown Whitehorse, hauling goods on horse-drawn cars for 3 cents per pound. A rival tram was also built on the west bank of the river. A small settlement developed at Canyon City, and a townsite was even surveyed there. Although it thrived for a short time, by 1900 the White Pass railway was completed to Whitehorse, and Canyon City had lost its reason for existence. Of the many modes of transportation developed during the gold rush, the most practical was the White Pass & Yukon Route, a narrow-gauge railway connecting Skagway, Alaska, at tidewater, with Whitehorse, at the head of navigation on the Yukon River.

Different tree, same area - between Cardiff and Newport.
Below is a link to a shot of the same tree before it had leaves or the crop had started growing:

Ο Μουτζούρης είναι ένα ιστορικό ατμοκίνητο τρένο που διασχίζει τις καταπράσινες πλαγιές του Πηλίου, συνδέοντας τον Βόλο με τις Μηλιές.
Η κατασκευή του σιδηροδρόμου ξεκίνησε το 1894 και ολοκληρώθηκε το 1903 από τον Ιταλό μηχανικό Εβαρίστο ντε Κίρικο, πατέρα του διάσημου ζωγράφου Τζιόρτζιο ντε Κίρικο.
Ο σιδηρόδρομος είναι μία από τις στενότερες γραμμές στον κόσμο, με πλάτος μόλις 60 εκατοστών.
Råbjerg Mile is a migrating coastal dune between Skagen and Frederikshavn, Denmark. It is the largest moving dune in Northern Europe with an area of around 1 km² (0.4 mi²) and a height of 40 m (130 ft). The dune contains a total of 4 million m³ of sand.

Twenty mile river image taken during low tide. As ugly as the mud is , I think the patterns that are left in the mud by the receding tide are beautiful.
After 2 hours of casual conversation in our First Class Section...Mrs. De Roca finally relented and let me have her.
KCS 2 heads West toward KC on the KCS Mexico Sub between Marshall and Blackburn, Missouri. In a few miles, just West of Blackburn, the front of KCS 2 would meet the bumper of a vehicle, stopping and delaying the train for a few hours. (The driver of the car had no injuries.)
As far as I can tell this is either a Golden (or yellow) dung fly (Scathophaga stercoraria) or a Helina Abdominalis fly, if anyone knows which for sure.....then I'd love to know. Olloclip macro @ 14x, handheld, Hisy remote, tweaked in 'Photos' on Mac and Snapseed on iPad Pro.
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.

(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.
