Loveland, Colorado to Colorado Springs
Normal route = 2.5 hours;
Adventure route = 7 hours ... including the time getting stuck in the snowbank and enlisting 5 strangers to the rescue ;)
I jumped out of the car to take this photo in poring rain and high winds - water droplets got to the lens - but I had to have a photo of a Routemaster!
Converted to monochrome.
A foggy day in Loughton. I really liked the old style direction fingerpost.
Apologies for not being so active here. Health reasons I'm sorry to say and at this point I fear it might be for most of 2023 before all matters are resolved.

Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route Sixty-Six...
A very poor colour slide, which I've converted to monochrome and then given a sketch feel treatment.
Taken towards the end of 1972, the AEC Swift on Route 418 (which I think was run from Leatherhead Garage) really is a period scene from my childhood with cars like the Ford Anglia & Mk1 Cortina featured here as daily family transport.
SQL chased a deer in the forest, it ran down a tree-lined drive leading to a château. He wondered whether to follow ......

Last week was such a long, tough week. I'm so glad it's over and am moving on...down Route 66 ;)
Tune: Route 66 - Natalie Cole and Diana Krall
The beaten trail: East Mother Road, Legendary
Seen here on a part of Sewardstone Road it doesn't normally use. Due to resurfacing of a road it does use, it was diverted to the bottom of Kings Head Hill and right into Sewardstone Road coming from Chingford Station.
As seen on a walk in Waltham Abbey, a Route 505 heading towards Harlow on one of the few Saturday only journeys.
Catching a digital display is a bit 'hit & miss' and this is a miss!
Despite the rural look it's two short stops away from a railway & bus station and a road full of shops.
I was quite surprised to find that Sundays and Bank Holidays that the service was run by a large minibus. Even so - seen here in Loughton - it seems to be moving fresh air about. If services aren't used, they generally don't last.
Converted to monochrome. Taken through shelter glass.
A recent closure of Chingford Lane meant quite a diversion for Route 275, seen here at the bottom of Friday Hill, from there turning right into Whitehall Road, right onto the A104 and line of route at The Castle.
Desde este punto ya se aprecia la cima.
El macizo del Mont Blanc está compartido por 3 países: Francia, Italia y Suiza. A la derecha de la foto vemos nuestras sombras y la de la cima proyectadas sobre el Valle de Aosta (Italia).
Una vez llegada a esta colina, ya habíamos pasado la zona de grietas que pudimos salvar sin problemas.
Plan de la Besurta, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.
Ruta cuyo itinerario discurre en el entorno de las pistas de esquí nórdico de Llanos del Hospital en el Valle de Benasque. La ruta tiene su inicio en el Plan del Hospital atravesando en su recorrido bellos parajes como el Plan de Estan y el Plan de la Besurta para llegar finalmente hasta el espectacular Plan d´Aiguallut con magnificas vistas al pico Aneto. Se trata de recorrer una parte del conocido como Camino dels Aranesos que originalmente unía el Plan del Hospital con el Valle de Arán.
El recorrido se divide en tres tramos, un primer tramo muy corto y sencillo hasta el Plan de l'Estan, un segundo tramo tambien muy sencillo hasta la Besurta y un tramo final algo más exigente aunque accesible a cualquier senderista acostumbrado a la montaña hasta el Forau d´Aiguallut.
Route whose itinerary runs around the Nordic ski slopes of Llanos del Hospital in the Benasque Valley. The route begins in the Pllan del Hospital, passing through beautiful places such as the Plan de Estan and the Plan de la Besurta to finally reach the spectacular Plan d'Aiguallut with magnificent views of the Aneto peak. It involves walking through a part of what is known as the Camino dels Aranesos, which originally linked the Hospital Plan with the Aran Valley.
The route is divided into three sections, a first very short and easy section to Plan de l'Estan, a second section that is also very simple to Besurta and a final section that is somewhat more demanding although accessible to any hiker accustomed to the mountains until the Forau d'Aiguallut.
As seen on the stand at Chigwell Row, Essex.
I see the marketing aspect of painting the route up on the bus, but it really loses its flexibility, as it's bound to be used on other routes due to bus shortage for whatever reason.
Route 66 runs right by the Petrified Forest National Park. We only had a short amount of time available to go by some Route 66 spots. We have plans to spend more time on Route 66 the next time that we are in the area.
I used my my faulty 1 month old router and placed a few colored LED bulbs (about 3 dollars from Diaso shop) to create the reflections.
Shot taken with my smartphone with a clipped on macro lens.
Hopefully the vivid colors provide a cheerful feeling to all.
Happy Monday and have a great week ahead!

Route 55 (a.k.a. Sognefjellsvegen in Norway) across the Sognefjell mountain area is the highest mountain pass in Northern Europe, with spectacular and wild mountain scenery.
It is the main gateway to the Jotunheimen National Park - Norway’s highest mountains.
Note the month this photo was taken in - does it look like July?
Your typical tourist trap needs an attraction. This is the attraction for the Jackrabbit Trading Post. Tourists like to climb aboard and take a photo. I found it easy to get on but downright dangerous to get off. Yes, I took a photo on the rabbit. No, it won't appear here.
A Royal Gorge Route Railroad (then, Canon City and Royal Gorge) passenger train pauses near Hanging Bridge west of Gorge siding in the depths of Royal Gorge, west of Canon City, Colorado, on May 14, 1999. One of the world's highest suspension bridges, Royal Gorge Bridge, which spans the Arkansas River at a height of nearly 1000 feet, soars over the train. This locomotive is former Chicago and North Western Executive F7 No. 402, and lives on today pulling popular excursions through the Royal Gorge. (Update—No. 402 now as a “retirement job” of being on display at Canon City…)
