We made it Texas! Paxton made it as well but just woke up from a nap and was not in the mood for a picture.
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.

We'd climbed down and then out of the gorge, and crossed the bridge. We needed a break. So we found a picnic table and sat for a while.
I'm not one for sharing images that have me in them! But here ya go.... I expect the worse!!! Bring it on ;o)
This is us at a picnic rest area near Sheffield, Texas and was taken after our visit to Fort Lancaster.
This is a special place to us. Sure it's just a picnic area for everyone else, but for reasons I cannot explain, this place means so much to us. Then again, it is Texas and this is a special place on the planet anyhow!
I'll geo-tag the exact location - please visit here. The views are tremendous and Fort Lancaster is a superb and historic attraction. We love this place! :)

This sundial is a public art project by Preston Farabow in 2007. With Interstate 40 in the background, is is located at a rest area at the easternmost cornet of Smith County, TN
This rest area is located along federal highway between sydney and canberra. It is located about 45mins drive from canberra. I always stop at this place when ever i dive to canberra. It has lovely view of vegetation and clear skys
Photographed from the top of a hill just south of the eastbound I-80 rest area near Aragonite. A path leads here from the rest area's parking lot. The view is south-southeast.
This photo was originally posted only in the Guess Where Utah pool.
My photos whose location has been guessed can be seen together.
Me reflected in a hand dryer at a rest stop. It's blurry because somebody walked in and looked at me funny and I was like 'OH NOES!'

Shot from the eastbound Mohawk Rest Area on I-8, looking at pointy Mohawk Peak in the distance. The elevation here is about 480 feet (146 m). The mountain summit is 1975 feet (602 m). This is in Arizona.
These rifts in the clouds looked a lot more interesting in the sky than it does in this photo, but I am hard-pressed for photos of Indiana. I took this at a rest stop on I-70, southwest of Indianapolis.

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.
