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.
I dedicate this bunch to the blonde lady!
Rest stops in Texas are all clean, and nicely adorned with flowers.
I like this rest stop because it has a woody path that goes way into the woods. I'm too chicken to go all the way to the end though, looks like a good place for a guy with a chainsaw to hang out. Also, the path circles up the hill to a lovely wooded picnic area.
A rest area sculpture on Route 89 in Vermont.
There is a story to these sculptures, I just don't know it yet. Or know all of it. I found a picture of one of them online with this caption:
"One of 18 sculptures designed and fabricated during the International Sculpture Symposium held in Vermont in 1968 and 1971. Matching grant funding was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts."
From another source I learned the sculpture symposiums were organized by a much-loved and now deceased UVM professor. The sculptors came from all over the world, and the output was set at rest areas on Routes 89 and 91.
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.
More B-listers for today. This one would have been great, but the train must have had a 10, and took too long in getting to me. The sun is now about half above the hills and half below them; less than a minute earlier, it would have been a different story. I did find a sunny spot after this up by Tilford, but you'll have to wait until the mag comes out to see that one. CP Day 1.
