One of the two trail heads for the lookout. From this point the trip is about a mile. We drove up the road a bit to the other trail head where the trip is about a half mile.
Gird Point Lookout. Bitterroot National Forest, Montana.
This was surprisingly hard to get a decent picture of, especially right around noon. We had started the morning in Rhyolite before going to Badwater, Devil's Golf Course and Artist's Drive first. Therefore, quite a bit of rework was needed to bring out the colors.

Zabriskie Point is a part of Amargosa Range located in Death Valley National Park in the United States noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago — long before Death Valley came into existence. The name Zabriskie comes from Christian Brevoort Zabriskie, who in the early 20th century was the vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company, whose famous twenty mule teams were used to transport borax from the company's mining operations in Death Valley.

Point Bolivar Light is a historic lighthouse in Port Bolivar, Texas, that was built in 1872. It served for 61 years before being retired in 1933, when its function was replaced by a different light. The current lighthouse is at least the second structure at the site. The first lighthouse was built in the mid-1850s and was pulled down during the Civil War so that Union warships could not use it as a navigational aid.

All the pages for the " Entry Point" booklet. We've ordered them as individual 4x6 postcards with round corners and brought them to a local printing company (Concord Printing - thanks Ben!) to drill a hole (where the metal ring will be inserted). After this process we got lots of help from church volunteers to assemble 500 of them.
Decided to try the little ZV-1 that I normally use for video as a stills camera. It makes suprisingly nice and flexible RAW files and it is a ton of fun using such a small camera.

The rickety little bridge to Point Bonita lighthouse can only be crossed by two people at a time. This is the way back from the lighthouse.

On Aug. 1, 2015, four companies of the New Mexico National Guard’s 93rd Brigade, conducted a Joint Training Exercise with the goal of improving the efficiency of aeromedical evacuation from point-of-Injury to patient stabilization at a Forward Surgical Team (Role II+) hospital. The companies participating were the 720th Transportation Company with detachments from Las Vegas and Santa Fe, New Mexico Medical Detachment, 1209th Area Support Medical Company, and C Company 1-171st Aviation (Rear). The 720th provided the 9-Line aeromedical calls, landing zone set-up, and simulated patients. The MED DET and 1209th provided the Role II+ capability, and C Co. 171st Aviation provided the aeromedical platform. This JTX allowed most Soldiers to interface in an environment that is not insulated, and challenged them to use their knowledge and skills. Feedback from Soldiers showed that it was an exciting and refreshing experience for them, with personal and professional takeaways. (Released, U.S. Army photos by Sgt. Zack Freeman, 200th PAD)

Feather River and Inside Gateway Excursion, 10-12 Oct 2015
Anne, Elizabeth and I rode the Feather River and Inside Gateway Excursion on 10 and 11 October. We had to catch the Starlight back from Klamath Falls on the night on 11-12 Oct, as some of the family had to get back to work, but the train made the return Klamath Falls-Emeryville trip via the former SP on 12 Oct.
Our train had a P40, P42 and 9 private cars. We were in ex-Burlington dome Silver Splendor, although we were riding downstairs in coach. I spent a fair bit of the trip enjoying the breeze in the vestibule.
We boarded in Sacramento. The train had taken the ex-SP Martinez Sub from Emeryville to Sacramento. After leaving Sacramento station, we turned north on the ex-WP Sacraento Sub for a quick run up the valley to Marysville and Oroville.
After Oroville, we were in the Feather River Canyon, the scenic highlight of the WP's California Zephyr.
At Keddie, we turned north onto the Inside Gateway or Hi Line, now owned by BNSF. WE climbed out of the canyon and contined north through Greenville and by Lake Almanor to Westwood, where the train spent the night. Westwood was having a craft fair and BBQ at the station and half the town seemed to have turned out to welcome the train. We had dinner at a pizza restaurant before toaking buses to Susanville, where we spent the night.
We awoke before dawn on Sunday, 11 Oct and were on buses from Susanvile to Westwood as the sky brightened. Leaving Westwood, the railroad runs through remote country with only a few crossroads in the forest. Eventually, the countryside opens up as the line nears Pit River and Lassen and Shasta become visible.
Not much is left at the old WP-GN junction of Bieber, but I shot the water tower and wye. North of Bieber, we encountered farmland as we crossed the ex-SP Modoc line at Stronghold and crossed into Oregon.
We had a bit of a delay getting onto the UP at Klamath Falls, then had a fast run north to Chemult, where the power was run around and the train towed back to K Falls. We took a bus to Crater Lake, which was a high point of the trip, an utterly beautiful mountain lake in the collapsed caldera of a volcano.
We had dinner at the Klamath Basin Brewery in K Falls before boarding the Starlight back to Sacramento. Elizabeth had work on Monday, so we rode overnight the route the excursion would take by day. I went to work for a few hours to work on a problem, then shot the train coming into Sacramento at West El Camino Ave. and then leaving across the I Street bridge.
If this train is run again in a few years, I want to ride it again!

"Following overland tests at Salisbury Plain during March 1897, on May 13, the Italian born and recently British based inventor, best known for his development of a radiotelegraph system, Guglielmo Marconi, assisted by George Kemp (who was a Cardiff based Post Office engineer) transmitted and received the first wireless signals over open sea from Lavernock Point to Flat Holm island. The very first message transmitted in morse code was "ARE YOU READY". This was immediately followed by "CAN YOU HEAR ME" to which the reply was "YES LOUD AND CLEAR".
The initial tests were so successful over the three and a third mile (6 kilometres) stretch of water that it was quickly decided to relocate the telegraph equipment from Flat Holm to Brean Down Fort, near Weston Super Mare increasing the distance to nearly ten miles (16 kilometres) from the Lavernock Point transmitter.
Following these successful trials, Marconi subsequently vested his new patent rights in his 'Wireless Telegraph and Signal Company'.
On the point in the late 1860s Lavernock Fort gun battery was built by the Royal Commission and completed in 1870, with three 7" muzzle loading cannons to protect the channel approaches to Cardiff and Bristol shipyards during the short lived war between Britain and France that followed the French Revolution. Sometime before 1895 the gun battery was reinforced with a fourth cannon only for all four guns to be replaced eight years later by two rapid fire six inch former naval guns in 1903. A two unit searchlight battery was added during the Second World War. Today the remaining main section of the gun battery has been listed as an Ancient Monument, which includes the gun emplacements, director-rangefinder observation position, crew and officers quarters."
The Point Arena Lighthouse, on the Northern California Coast.
This lighthouse replaced the original, which was destroyed in same earthquake George Lawrence documented in his pioneering KAP efforts; The San Francisco 1906 Earthquake.
This light has stood since 1908.
Unlike some lighthouses, this one looks better every time I visit. The docents, benefactors, and volunteers here are serious about their restoration and upkeep.
Do you think the wind blows here? Just look at the trees in the left for your answer. ( you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows -- apologies to Bob Dylan )
If you know where to look, you'll see the roll of duct tape I carry when I fly the Dopero.
I used a kite to fly the camera.
