Fall foliage and the Presidential Range of the White Mountains from US Route 2 pullout, Danville, Vermont
Looking east-northeastward from the scenic pullout described in Part 5.
Here, spread out over the darkling brow of Shawangunk Mountain, is the bucolic valley of the Wallkill River. A bit of the town of New Paltz is visible at far left. The ridges in the distance lie just to the west of the Hudson River.
The fact that the main feature in this photo is a valley, and hence low ground, is a function of its bedrock. It’s soft and yielding Ordovician shale, much more prone to disintegration and removal than the harder, ridge-forming units on either side of it. Without meaning to, I have once again chanced upon the process of differential erosion that has been a leitmotif in a couple of separate photo-essays posted in other albums recently.
However, determining exactly which Ordovician shale it is can be a chore. The Lower Hudson Sheet of the Geologic Map of New York, published in 1970, identifies it as the Normanskill Formation from here to New Paltz, with the Austin Glen Formation lying a little farther east. And that is also what’s shown on the USGS Google Earth overlay.
The problem is that more recent sources imply without going into sufficient detail that it is the Martinsburg Formation that forms the Wallkill Valley floor on this side of the stream. The Martinsburg, stratigraphically higher in the Ordovician sequence than the Normanskill, is the unit exposed in the wonderful turbidite roadcut shown at this very spot in Part 5.
So I’m assuming that the Martinsburg is the more accurate identification. I cannot find the whole story on this reinterpretation, but it makes sense given what other, modern sources indicate about the geology closer to the Shawangunk Ridge itself. In any event, this locale sorely needs its own quadrangle or regional bedrock map, and preferably one produced in the current century.
As far as the high points in the distance go, it’s tempting to think they are part of the Hudson Highlands. But we’re too far north. That scenic and historic region, formed from glacially sculpted Mesoproterozoic crystalline rock, only extends up the big river to a little south of Newburgh.
So the distant ridges in this scene are made instead of another Ordovician formation, the Quassaic Quartzite. Or so it is shown on the 1970 map. But this too makes sense, because the Quassaic contains metaquartzite, which is very resistant stuff, as well as unaltered sandstone and conglomerate.
Of course, there’s always a chance that the stratigraphy over there by the Hudson has been changed as well. If I find it has been, I’ll do as I always do, and update this description accordingly.

Bus pullouts that haven't been used since September 3rd, 1988, still exist. According to the Oregonian, there weren't any shelters or other amenities here.

Bike racing fan of the 80's was not only about the racing, the innovation around access to watch saw a revolution.
This era of the 80's saw the beginnings of Satellite TV, suddenly access to these races for generality across continents was possible. We were in a world where we could now follow riders, racers across a season, at the time also free.
That is, if you had a satellite dish.
Eurosport, and those early German channels were a great way into the world of Grand Prix, Superbike, Club racing. Following a British rider as said through a season was of course a new luxury.
Up's and downs of a year in racing to view in real time was to me a new exciting innovation in access.
Scotland's Niall Mackenzie timing wise was among those in this new media of satellite tv. Print media readership was still strong, social media was not a thing as now where riders can manage their own content to a degree. With that in mind.
Took it upon myself to file up what was in storage at my once parents house and garage. The T-Shirts I kept going and do pick up occasionally even still now. Old racing T's now a collectable it appears..
Road Racer magazine and RPM issues I have just filed up Mackenzie although do have some other back issues. Birthday cards were designed by Kevin Sheppard, T's Mostly by Mick Fisher. .An assortment of memorabilia from mugs to phone cards.
Reasons for, worked as a photojournalist and researcher, archival. A case of news desk national and, which I still do, 17th Century archives. So kinda what I did and do.
Mackenzie files really are a source file, looking at 80's 90's which was a golden age really racing wise. A personnel project to see in regards of a rider of that time, coverage via publications, where print gives a profile of and the dynamics of that.

There are all these pullouts along the road leading along the beach. Usually you have one to yourself in the winter. We used to come down here to the state park all the time from Tallahassee. Now we're just killing time and eating lunch and watching TV - we will move to the campground toward dark.

Moorea was another island I've wanted to visit for a long time. It is beautiful and scenic. We stayed 5 nights and had a great time. We took several excursions and rented a car for a day - you can drive around the island in two hours. The main drawbacks were the lack of pullouts on the road to take in the scenery and very few roads into the interior. Snorkeling was good too.

The new pullout south of Ouray... all the years we've been going to this area we didn't know this waterfall was even under the road!
I took this from a pullout on Trailridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. This was in May, not long after the road was first re-opened for the season. For some reason I never really liked the color version all that much, but after converting it to black and white, I am much happier with it. I'd like to hear what other people think. Any criticism is welcome.
