Mohawk Adirondack & Northern's Rome turn heads back to Utica with three. The C425 was built in October 1964 (50 years ago this month!) for Erie Lackawanna; it served BC Rail before coming back east.
This is a little more low-key than some of the other abandoned stuff, but y'know, I love these old signs. Now if only gas prices were like this now!! Thanks!

Night photo of the Mohawk Mini-Mart in Oro Grande, CA. Native settlements existed here for hundreds of years, and it was an important trading post, as the Mojave Trail, Mormon Trail, and Spanish Trail converged in this general area. When gold was discovered, this became a larger settlement. Eventually, Route 66 was established here, the nation’s first year round highway linking Chicago to Los Angeles, prompting the migration out West, escaping the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Much of the homes and businesses along Route 66 dried up in the 1950s when the highway system, including Interstate 40, were built, bypassing "The Mother Road".

This is one of the first photos I created with my new camera, a Pentax K-1, which was a joy to use. I've been using Nikons for many years, so finding the controls and everything else was a bit of an adjustment. I photographed up and down Route 66 at night, using Barstow as a home base. While taking this night photo, I illuminated the exterior building with a ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device during the two minute exposure. This photo might appear in a book of abandoned night photography I am working on now. Feel free to share!

This Mohawk was one of only a few fixed wing aircraft in the static display. The unit remains unknown to me, but it obviously came from West Germany.

USCGC Mohawk 913 is a 270' United States Coast Guard Famous-class medium endurance cutter. She was launched on September 9, 1989 at Robert Derecktor Shipyard Incorporated of Middletown, Rhode Island and commissioned in March 1991. She is the third cutter named for the Mohawk nation, a tribe of Iroquoian Indians who lived in the Mohawk Valley of New York.

Mohawk is the 13th and last of the 270 foot Famous-class cutters. Built by the former Robert Derektor Shipyards of Rhode Island, Mohawk was christened on September 9, 1989. Since the time of her commissioning in March 1991, she served the Coast Guard in a wide variety of missions including Search and Rescue, Maritime Law Enforcement, and Alien Migrant and UFO Interdiction Operations.
Mohawk has been responsible for the rescue of more than 5,000 Haitian, Cuban, and Dominican Republic migrants and has supported as many as 756 migrants on deck at one time. Mohawk has also seized more than 20,700 pounds of illegal drugs. This, as well as Mohawk's role in several search and rescue cases and numerous boardings to enforce the United States national laws, has earned Mohawk two Unit Commendations, the Joint Meritorious Service Award and two Humanitarian Service Awards. Mohawk is homeported in Key West, Florida. On January 13th 2010, the Mohawk was ordered to assist in the humanitarian relief efforts following the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Her nickname is; "Mighty Mo"

*[I'm doing a series on the presence of the U.S. Coast Guard
in Key West Harbor. They are the ultimate border patrol for
our country's southern border. Thank You U.S. Coast Guard!]
The U.S. Coast Guard is recognized as a leader in the field of search
and rescue. To meet this responsibility, the Coast Guard maintains search and rescue facilities on the East, West and Gulf coasts,
as well as in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
U.S. Coast Guard patrols our southern border
throughout the 90 miles to Cuba and beyond
*[On a personal note: my younger first-cousin Marty ALWAYS said when we were kids that when he grew up he wanted to work on
the water with the US Coast Guard. Well, he really lived that dream!
He worked for the US Coast Guard for the last 30+ years, enduring moves from Tampa Florida, to Alaska, to Hawaii and back to North Carolina. He will be retiring with many honors within the next year.
Great job, Marty! We're all very proud of you! - Ooh Rah! *salute*]

Bromo is an exotic place not only in its landscape, but also on the society and its culture.
I find something unique there, namely a horse ride a mohawk-style hair cut!
The leased horses for those who are not strong or lazy to walk to the crater of Bromo.
This delightful, tiny mohawk moth with the binomial of Stathmopoda megathyma is native to the east coast of this country. Also known as concealer moth and curved-horn moth.
The metallic lustre is very pretty and antennae impressive.

Here is another frame from a spectacular day and here was the caption that went with it:
Whatever else 2020 was...and it was a lot of things...it was a really good year for railfan photography. Turns out that trains are an essential business and foaming is a good safe solitary socially distanced outside activity so I indulged myself this year. And the railroads didn't disappoint particularly in New England and the northeast where it seemed every other day there was a special move, rare power, classic consists, or just something to keep it interesting and fun.
And in keeping with that trend for the last day of the year the Canadian Pacific served up this southbound 650 unit ethanol train on the old Delaware and Hudson. When I got word Thursday night that this consist was eastbound across Ontario I figured it was worth trying. So after a quiet night at the railroad I struck out from Boston a little early Friday morning and headed for Lake Champlain. I intercepted them at Port Henry for the start of a 115 mile chase south to Kenwood Yard.
Leading the train is CP 6232 a standard cab EMD SD60 blt. Mar. 1989 as SOO Line 6032. And if that wasn't enough she was trailed by two more modern strangers to these parts in Southern Belle livery: KCS de Mexico EMD SD70ACE 4132 blt. Sep. 2012 as an EMDX demonstrator and KCS 4584 a GE AC4400CW blt. Nov. 1999.
After leaving Mechanicville this was my last stop before they arrived at their final terminal and the absolute highlight of the Colonie Sub. This would have been utterly spectacular in sun but is still cool even on this gray day as the wild trio is seen nosing out on to the nearly 1100 ft long lattice Warren truss deck bridge over the Mohawk River just below Cohoes Falls from the town of Waterford into Cohoes. This is about MP 9.5 on CP's Colonie Sub, the one time Delaware and Hudson Saratoga Sub mainline.

"Mohawk Warrior" (2008) by Gerry Embleton on display in the Fort Ticonderoga museum.
Fort Ticonderoga, formerly Fort Carillon, is a large 18th-century star fort built by the French at a narrows near the south end of Lake Champlain in northern New York in the United States. It was constructed by Canadian-born French military engineer Michel Chartier de Lotbinière, Marquis de Lotbinière between October 1755 and 1757 during the Seven Years' War, often referred to as the French and Indian War in the US. It was of strategic importance during the 18th-century colonial conflicts between Great Britain and France, and again played an important role during the American Revolutionary War.
The site controlled a river portage alongside the mouth of the rapids-infested La Chute River in the 3.5 miles (5.6 km) between Lake Champlain and Lake George and was strategically placed in conflicts over trade routes between the British-controlled Hudson River Valley and the French-controlled Saint Lawrence River Valley. The terrain amplified the importance of the site. Both lakes were long and narrow, oriented north–south, as were the many ridge lines of the Appalachian Mountains extending as far south as Georgia, creating the near-impassable mountainous terrains to the east and west of the Great Appalachian Valley that the site commanded. The name "Ticonderoga" comes from the Iroquois word tekontaró:ken, meaning "it is at the junction of two waterways".
During the 1758 Battle of Carillon, 4,000 French defenders were able to repel an attack by 16,000 British troops near the fort. In 1759, the British returned and drove a token French garrison from the fort merely by occupying high ground that threatened the fort. During the American Revolutionary War, the fort again saw action in May 1775 when the Green Mountain Boys and other state militia under the command of Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold captured it in a surprise attack. Cannons captured were transported to Boston where their deployment forced the British to abandon the city in March 1776. The Americans held the fort until June 1777, when British forces under General John Burgoyne again occupied high ground above it and threatened the Continental Army troops, leading them to withdraw from the fort and its surrounding defenses. The only direct attack on the fort took place in September 1777, when John Brown led 500 Americans in an unsuccessful attempt to capture the fort from about 100 British defenders.
The British abandoned the fort after the failure of the Saratoga campaign, and it ceased to be of military value after 1781. It fell into ruin, leading people to strip it of some of its usable stone, metal, and woodwork. It became a stop on tourist routes of the area in the 19th century. Its private owners restored the fort early in the 20th century. A foundation now operates the fort as a tourist attraction, museum, and research center.
