If you take the Taylor Highway to Chicken Alaska - you will see a lot of old equipment laying about that was used back in the gold rush days. This old generator atop a sledge, is just one of the many tools used to help with the extraction of gold.
Just 6 days ago the Taylor (or "Top of the World Highway") was plowed open by Alaska DOT. In about 6 short weeks, tourists will be making their way over the primitive two lane road to visit the historic sites located there. While there you can pan for gold, roam about looking at old mining tools, see a huge gold dredge, stay over night in a cabin, (or overnight in an RV park if that is your mode of travel), and of course, you can also eat some delicious fried chicken in Chicken. The scenery is so beautiful as you climb ever higher into true mining country. There are a lot of mines up and running to this very day - and a lot of delightfully quirky people to chat with. Oh -and I must not forget that gasoline is available, as well as souvenirs. Be sure to get off the beaten path and see "old Chicken", as well as the newly developed portion of town known as the "new Chicken".
See you in Chicken this summer. :-)
A muddy footpath on Gun Hill, Swythamley, Staffordshire as the light failed, and the temperature dropped.
Path Tasseography
surely a path with leaves would give better information than the leaves on the bottom of a tea cup ....if it was actually a thing.
i do of course realise it is all a lot of nonsense

The end of the pedestrian walkway over the Tamar River to Tamar Island from the Legana Wetlands in Tasmania.
You can see Llanberis Lake in the distance and Dinorwic Slate Quarry is to the right.
Llanberis Path is the longest and most gradual of the six main paths to the summit of Snowdon, and offers fantastic views of Cwm Brwynog, Llanberis and over the Menai straights towards Anglesey. This is the most popular path amongst leisurely walkers as it is thought to be the easiest to walk in mild weather, but in winter, the highest slopes of the path can become very dangerous.
The path mainly follows the Snowdon Mountain Railway track, and goes by Hebron, Halfway and Clogwyn stations. Before the railway was opened in 1896, visitors employed guides to lead them to the summit along this path on mule-back.
A remarkable geological feature can be seen from the Llanberis path, the Clogwyn Du’r Arddu syncline. The syncline was formed over thousands of years, as the earth moved and transformed horizontal deposits into vertical layers of rock.

If the path be beautiful,
Let us not ask where it leads.
