Stopped in Barstow purely to see some of Route 66. Seems like that's all there is in Barstow these days - not much else to see.
The sky hasn't been very blue this fall to aid photography so I took this gorgeous water reflection and abstracted it in photoshop - hope you like it!
February 28 - My dream photography trip is traveling down old Route 66. I bought this encyclopedia on Route 66 to start planning the trip. Next part of the plan is putting away the money and make time to take the trip.
Vermont Route 22A is a state highway in western Vermont, United States. It is the northward continuation of New York State Route 22A. Its southern end is at the New York state line in Fair Haven and its northern end is in Ferrisburgh at U.S. Route 7. As it is an extension of NY 22A, VT 22A is a spur route of NY 22, which runs roughly parallel to VT 22A west of the state border. This is a rather unusual case of one state having a suffixed route of another state's primary route. Vermont does not currently have a "Route 22."
Pre 1930s route of US 66 wound through the Mojave desert between the border and Ludow. The Marble Mountains are in the background. Two shoe trees (public art?) adorn one of the wash culverts.

The Coventry Canal dates from the early pioneering days of canal building in Britain and was promoted by a group of local business men with the chief aim in enabling the export of coal from their mines in north Warwickshire. In 1767 the Coventry Canal Company committee engaged James Brindley, the foremost canal engineer of the day, to survey a 38.5 mile route from Fradley to Coventry via Tamworth, Atherstone, Nuneaton and Bedworth. The construction of the canal required an Act of Parliament, which received Royal Assent on the 29th January 1768. The canal company appointed Brindley as engineer and surveyor and work began in Foleshill Parish, probably at Longford, in May 1768. The work proceeded in both directions and within six months coal was being transported from Bedworth to Longford. The canal reached the Coventry Basin on the 10th August 1769 where according to the Coventry Mercury newspaper;
"two boats laden with coal were brought to this city from this side of Bedworth. Being the first ones, they were received with loud cheers by a number of people who had assembled to witness their arrival".
James Brindley was also the engineer and surveyor of the Oxford Canal which was under construction at that time; Brindley anticipated that both canals would join together near Coventry to create a canal linking the Thames to the Mersey. The site of the junction was intended to be at Gosford Green to the east of Coventry City Centre, but the Oxford Canal Company decided that they wanted a junction at Bedworth instead. This would have saved the Coventry Canal Company the expense of building a branch to Gosford Green, but would also have deprived them of several miles of toll revenues. The dispute between the two companies dragged on and resulted in the Coventry Canal Company dismissing Brindley in September 1769 for his perceived clash of interests. A compromise was eventually agreed whereby the junction was built at Longford in 1777 with the canals running parallel alongside one another for a mile from Hawkesbury.
The Coventry Canal had reached Atherstone in 1772 but financial problems resulted in a lengthy break in construction and the final link to the Trent and Mersey Canal at Fradley was not completed until 1790. The completion of the link enabled goods traffic to travel from northern England to the south through Longford and meant that the four and a half miles from Longford to Coventry effectively become a branch serving the city.

South Africa.
In the northeast corner of South Africa is a seemingly unpronounceable province, Mpumalanga. The name means ‘the place where the sun rises’, a fitting tribute to what must be one of the great natural wonders of the continent; no mean feat in a place with such beauty. It’s also home to one of the world’s great driving routes through fertile valleys, raging rivers and up to soaring mountain peaks – the Panorama Route.

A recent addition to Route 66, this monument was created by artist Tom Coffin was commissioned by Tucumcari. The base is made out of sandstone, but at the top is a chrome, Cadillac-like fin.
Tucumcari is really the gateway to New Mexico. It's history suggests that from rail roads to Route 66, it brought work and travelers to the area.
In fact, the town's history reveals how rough of an experience it may have been. According to "Traveling Route 66" it's nickname was "Six-Shooter Siding." I guess it got pretty rowdy back in the day.
