This caravan of some dozen vehicles -- many with just the driver -- were inbound to some fish hatchery within the bounds of the watershed. Presumably along Goldstream River although I am not aware of its location. Strange, inasmuch as I know everything about southern Vancouver Island trails.

SPERRY 36-INCH NAVY SEARCHLIGHT SERIAL NUMBER 1529
The largest of three standard searchlight sizes used on U.S. Naval ships during World War II.
Since the late 19th century searchlights have been an important multiuse tool for naval crews. They have been used to detect enemy ships, assist landing parties, aid search and rescue, as signaling devices, and to dazzle, or confuse, attacking enemies. Indeed, one of the earliest naval applications of searchlights occurred in 1882 when the Royal Navy used searchlights to dazzle Egyptian gun crews defending Alexandria.
During the Russo-Japanese War, World War I, and World War II searchlights were used to detect, track, and engage enemy ships during nighttime naval battles. In particular, the Japanese Navy developed tactics and training that proved quite effective during nighttime naval engagements early in World War II.
As the war progressed radar emerged as a far more effective way to locate and track enemy ships with the added benefit of not giving a vessel's location away. However, searchlights still proved highly versatile with novel uses being implemented during the Battles of Midway and the Philippine Sea where searchlights were used as nighttime beacons to guide aircrews back to their aircraft carriers. Due to their varied utility, the Navy still installs searchlights on most modern vessels.
The 36-inch searchlight displayed here is a standard navy type, utilizing a carbon arc lamp and a parabolic mirror. Carbon arc lamps work by creating an electric arc between two carbon rods, or electrodes. This arc creates an intense, steady, and highly luminous light which is focused and projected into a narrow beam by the backing parabolic mirror. The diameter of this beam is controlled by an iris shutter. Large searchlights, such as this 36-inch light, could be controlled manually or remotely, and were predominantly used for nighttime combat. They did not have shutters for signaling. Signaling was conducted by smaller 12- and 24-inch general-purpose searchlights.

Visiting the Methuselah Tree! This was during me and my cousin’s brief outing to The El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve around San Mateo County. The preserve is characterized by dense second-growth redwood and mixed evergreen forests. It's been a while since we've done a hiking trip, even a short one. Certainly, this is a nice place to escape the busy, fast-paced life! We ended our day with a nice early dinner at Black Bear Diner along the El Camino Real around Sunnyvale, CA. ‘Til next time, safe travels! (Outing taken place Monday, ‎May ‎25, ‎2026)
*A bit about this preserve: More than 34 miles of multiuse trail are available for exploration at the 2,908-acre El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve. While this preserve is extremely popular with bicyclists, it also has lots of hearty hiking and horseback riding opportunities. Visitors will find creekside trails through mixed evergreen and redwood forests, enjoy ocean views, admire rare sandstone formations and experience a sense of remoteness. Visitors to this preserve can see unique sandstone formations called tafoni. Cave-like indentations and delicate honeycomb structures are formed in the sandstone by just the right combination of weather and atmospheric conditions. Numerous logging roads are also still evident, most of which are now trails. With a little help, nature has incredible healing powers: the deep canyons have regenerated dense stands of second-growth redwoods. While most of the giant old-growth redwoods were logged, a few awe-inspiring giants remain to be seen (like the Methuselah Tree). With 36 miles of trails, there's plenty to explore!
The Cataraqui Trail from Harrowsmith to Smiths Falls is part of the Trans Canada Trail, and follows an abandoned railway line (hence the substantial bridge in this photo).
Signs on the Trans Canada Trail, and the Cookstown Ontario section.
It is great that it is multi-use.

A view of part of the Shawangunk Ridge near New Paltz, New York. The 300 foot escarpment is a favorite rock climbing destination and is only about 80 miles from New York City. This photo was taken from a multiuse "rail trail" that I ran on a visit to the area and came back to take this from the trail as it goes through a horse farm.
New Paltz was founded in 1678 by French Huguenots settlers, including Louis DuBois, who had taken refuge in Mannheim, Germany, for a brief period of time, being married there in 1655, before emigrating to the Dutch colony of New Netherland in 1660 with his family. Mannheim was a major town of the Palatinate (in German, the Pfalz), at the time a center of Protestantism. The settlers lived in Wiltwyck (present day Kingston, NY) and in 1677 purchased a patent for the land surrounding present day New Paltz from a Lenape tribe known as the Esopus. (Wikipedia)

Just taken this evening at the end of the day, magical light!
Shot in Milton Ontario along one of the many multiuse fitness trails the town has.
These are newly installed along Central Link at Holgate. They only open away from the tracks by pulling on an individual gate and then spring closed. Note that they're installing them on both sidewalks crossing the tracks, and that it's along-side a multiuse trail. Cyclists on the trail will need to dismount to cross the tracks here, or move to the street.
Obviously they are designed to make pedestrians have to stop and look both ways to cross the tracks.
This is the first location I've seen these installed. There was a suicide here a year ago on 2009-07-27, but supposedly it was at a concrete barrier and not the sidewalk. Not that these would prevent a suicide anyhow.

Sunday we walked 5km roundtrip along the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Rail Trail from Hallowell Road northwest to Helmcken Road. The plan was to walk northbound along the trail to see how work is progressing at Dunsmuir's Cut at the Four Mile railway bridge.
Work is proceeding at an exponential rate since we were there two-weeks ago. What a fine job of engineering and workmanship the contractor is producing in the course of completing this 10-mile (16km) long, multi-use trail beside the E&N railway tracks.
It was another beautiful, spring-like day in Victoria at a sunny, 11°C (52°F). We topped our outing off with lunch at the Four-Mile Pub (with pictures-to-prove-it).

A brand new tank for seed and fertilizer, waiting to be incorporated into a new zero tillage seeder, being copied from the CIMMYT design for a Mexican firm which supplies technical advice to producers of barley for beer production. CIMMYT's multi-crop, multi-use seeder was designed and built at CIMMYT specifically for conservation agriculture, with many adaptations and alterations over time; the new seeder will be almost identical but for small grains only. Many replicas of CIMMYT's seeder have now been made, by companies producing it for sale, organizations and farmers themselves, all slightly modified for their users' needs.
