In 1860, State Geologist Alexander Winchell reported that oil and gas deposits lay under Michigan's surface. First commercial production was at Port Huron where twenty-two wells were drilled, beginning in 1886. Total output was small. Michigan's first oil boom was at Saginaw, where production began in 1925. About 300 wells were drilled here by 1927, when Muskegon's "Discovery Well" drew oil men the country over to that field. The Mt. Pleasant field, opened in 1928, helped to make Michigan one of the leading oil producers of eastern United States. Mt. Pleasant became known as the "Oil Capital of Michigan." Efforts of the industry itself resulted in excellent state laws regulating petroleum output. Well depths range from 1,000 to 6,000 feet. New wells are constantly opened as exploration continues.

Princes Highway between Officer and Pakenham. This predates the duplication of this section of highway, which was completed around 1978.
The old style fluorescent street lights suggest the rest area was built some time during the 1960's - these appear to have been disconnected.
This photo shows the former westbound rest area which has not been in use since the duplication and is now used to stockpile gravel
A plant next to the building at the I-95 Virginia Welcome Center in Skippers, VA. Not sure what this plant is but it caught my attention as my wife and I were traveling through headed for my mother in laws for Christmas.

My wife and I stopped at the Interstate 40 NC Welcome Center on our way home from Tennessee. It had been raining but stopped long enough for me to take a few pictures. The I-40 rest area/visitor's center is very scenic.
Prunus cerasifera - The leaves were ovate(broad and rounded at the base and tapering toward the end) with smooth edges. From a distance the leaves looked maroon but were deep green when seen up-close. The trunk was rough and twisted. It was in a rest area along Interstate 81 in Virginia.

SCDOT left one of their variable message sign trailers at the rest area. Looking at Google Street View, this has been sitting at the same spot for over a year.
The unique Midland Continental Railroad has been memorialized at a unique rest area along U.S. Highway 281 north of Edgeley, North Dakota. The site's main building, housing the rest rooms, is fashioned after a prototypical Midwestern railroad depot and is meant to symbolize Jamestown, North Dakota, site of the railroad's headquarters and primary yard. On the north and south side of this building are small shelters that symbolize the cities of Wimbledon and Edgeley, the northern and southern termini of the railroad, respectively.
The Midland Continental was a short line railroad that operated between 1912 and 1970. Originally intended to be a north-south transcontinental line stretching from Winnipeg, Manitoba to Galveston, Texas, all that was ultimately constructed were about 70 miles of track between Wimbledon and Edgeley, North Dakota.
Cate says he is inspired by road signs and thinks about the result if he interpreted them literally.
