Seems like kind of an antique in the scheme of things. I thought for a sec it was a soap dispenser, so started the thing up by accident before my hands were washed. I had to go back to the car for my camera to shoot this. Wonder what the guy in the stall thought when the flash went off...

Do you remember the Garbage Gobbler? Created in the 1950s and placed across the province in B.C. Parks and at points along BC highways in order to “Keep Beautiful British Columbia, Clean and Beautiful,” Garbage Gobblers were a truly cool piece of transportation history. Sadly, Garbage Gobblers proved to be as popular with bears as they were with people and eventually they had to be replaced in favour of bear proof cans (which were not as artsy, but much more practical). Even though Garbage Gobblers disappeared from BC roadways, our love for them lives on in treasured family road trip photos and in retrospective discussions of days gone by. (Heck, the gobbler was so loved – he even has his own Facebook page!)
Well, he’s baaaaack. (And he’s hungry!)
We are thrilled to announce that the Garbage Gobbler has been re-imagined and re-introduced to a handful of rest areas across the province as part of our Rest Area Improvement Program.

During our journey from Riverview to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, we drove along a stretch of I-75 known as ''Alligator Alley'' and stopped at a rest area near mile marker 34. The rest area also doubles as an Everglades Education Center with interesting maps, exhibits, and photo panels, such as the one shown here. They even have a wooden overlook (raised boardwalk) along the north side of the rest area, though we didn't get a chance to check it out.
Millions have seen this Rocket at the Alabama Welcome Center and rest area along Interstate 65 near the Tennessee border. I happened to see it very early in the morning and I was surprised at how well it came out despite being so dark and from a car going 70mph. Specifically, this one is SA-211 and was never actually used by NASA on a flight mission.

The Missouri Route 66 Welcome Center rest area is at mile marker 109 on I-44 in both directions.
Whether you need to stop or not, you MUST stop at this rest area! Behind the building is a set of picnic tables set up as attractions along Route 66.
It makes a nice break to stretch your legs and admire the different storefronts at each picnic table.
Lighting commonly used on main roads in Victoria during the 1960's. This is located in an old rest area on Princes Highway between Officer and Pakenham. Note the abandoned rest area on other side used to stockpile gravel. This has not been working for many years.

Spring really is around the corner, the tree buds tell me so! Sure, we will have more snow first, but keep your heart in the light and your dreams will lead you there.
Don't get me wrong... I love snow too... it is really the extended darkness that gets to me! And the fact that as I get older my bones are aching more in the cold!

July 1–2, 2016, marked our official move from Riverview, Florida, to Austin, Texas. The first leg of our journey took us from Riverview to New Orleans, Louisiana. Along the way, we took a break at several rest stops, including the Louisiana Welcome Center off I-10 West in Slidell, Louisiana.
In addition to restrooms, picnic tables, and visitor information, the rest area had several signs that made for good photo ops. This ''Louisiana'' sign is shaped like the state itself, and features an image of the state bird -- the brown pelican.
