Miles from nowhere
Not a soul in sight
Oh yeah, but it's alright
--- Cat Stevens
US 6 between Tonopah and Ely, Nevada
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.
From a week's family vacation in a rented house in Skagen, Denmark - April 01, 2021.
The photo is taken at the Raabjerg Mile area (a huge area of sand drift) south-west of the town.
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.
I could walk a mile in your shoes ...

But I already know they're just as uncomfortable as mine.
Let's walk next to each other instead...

I've got a mule and her name is Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
She's a good old worker and a good old pal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal...

The last time I was on this part of Monterey Highway, it was still US101, before they built the bypass...I was with my half-brother enroute to Long Beach to purchase a Detroit Deisel 271 for his first salmon trawler...(it was the slowest boat in the fleet)...got a flat tire right about here too while it was over 100*...
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.
He has the prettiest and longest eye lashes for a 4 month old. His mom's definitely jealous. In this photo his eyes apear to be turning a bit green. They normally look like a slate blue color.

M62-7039 of Orion Kolej with white Ecco Rail coal cars has left the Warszawa Okęcie station and is going now along the track of the line no. 937 towards Jeziorna, where the the wagons are handed over to the company servicing the CHP Siekierki siding. March 22, 2020.
The location of that point dozen kilometers from the station accessible by electric traction requires using diesel mainline locomotives to service this last mile, a section disproportionately short in relation to the typical basic transport distance, but costing relatively more per km due to the necessity of employment of additional locomotive and its crew.

M62-7039 Orion Kolej z białymi węglarkami Ecco Rail w usłudze zapewne dla ČD Cargo Poland opuścił stację Warszawa Okęcie i udaje się torem linii 937 w kierunku Jeziorny, gdzie formalnie znajdują się tory zdawczo-odbiorcze warszawskiej EC Siekierki (aktualnie PGNiG Termika). 22 marca 2020 roku.
Położenie torów zdawczo odbiorczych kilkanaście kilometrów od stacji dostępnej trakcją elektryczną powoduje konieczność zastosowania spalinowych lokomotyw liniowych do obsługi tzw. ostatniej mili, odcinka niewspółmiernie krótkiego w stosunku do typowej zasadniczej odległości przewozu,ale kosztującego relatywnie więcej per km, z uwagi na droższe rozwiązania czy konieczność extra manewrów.

An El Paso, Texas (Alfalfa) to Tucson, Arizona extra manifest thunders over the top of the hill at Mescal with a trio of heavy ACs on the point (no DPU). This manifest train really popped in the open desert with a colorful mixture of railcars to watch come around the bend. The train seemed to be very well blocked out with a mishmash of single cars from here to the curve, followed by a large block of empty Autos, Highcubes and Centerbeams. The rear end was more a an interesting localized block of copper mining products and byproducts that probably only see a small section of the North American rail network.
This train and a few others have a companion video available here: youtu.be/IPE7NEl5ETE
Meadowlark sings his morning song on the Mile 5 marker at Rocky Mountain Arsenal - National Wildlife Refuge.
As I was leaving Monument Valley our guide, Cliff Zenor said, "Be sure to stop at mile marker 13, look back and take a picture." This is the result. Cliff was spot on in recommending many great photographic locations.
