There's a segment of highway stretch just south of downtown Minneapolis where 35W and I-94, the two main interstates through MN, meet and run parallel for about a mile.
I think a higher vantage of a similar angle would be a thousand times more interesting, however.

Sue Bishop gave an excellent talk yesterday at Connect Ten, so this morning I ventured into he garden to try a few shots following Sue's influence
This morning, I went out to a trail in Mission that I've had my eye on for a bit. The drive was longer than the hike for me, but there was the decent (if somewhat twiggy) Steelhead Falls at the end.

Day 4 (Segment 27)
random campsite to Bridge site
The final descent to Taylor Lake, although switchbacked, was pretty difficult. Caution was necessary on this steep sidehill which was strewn with loose talus stones. One misstep could be disastrous. Every step was careful and calculated. I did safely arrive at the Lake.
Taylor Lake is a stunning high alpine lake nestled in its own basin at an elevation of approximately 11,600 feet. An excellent place for a short break and to refill water containers. I encountered the hikers I had seen earlier on the Highline Trail, also taking a break.
Kennebec Trailhead, and the end of Segment 27, was about a mile away. I already had about 9 miles in for the day with about 7 more to go, so I didn’t linger at the lake for long. Kennebec Pass was another .6 mile away.

This is a diorama I built for Blocks magazine for their Custom Corner segment. These really great custom minifigs are from MinifigFX.
This build required me to challenge myself both in terms of my conceptualization of it, as well as in its execution. The curved ceiling was the first hurdle, and while I got the initial layout settled, everything seemed like it should work in theory, I had to wait until the walls were fully in place in order to prove it. I'm happy with the results, and enjoyed working with some different shapes. I also wanted to reference the characters themselves within the build. The most obvious part of this is their powers being about darkness and light, but also their respective backgrounds. Cloak is from the streets, while Dagger is from an upscale neighborhood. They are coming from different places, but converging onto the same path. The "Chez Albert" sign behind Dagger is a nod to her upper class background. The colors for the tiles were also chosen based on each character. There are a number of other details that can't really be seen in these photos, but they were important for me as I was working on the build to have it feel real and alive.
Photo of the clothes and gear of a loved one and official Colorado Trail “Completer,” done in 32 days by 3 August 2018. At 2,000-2,500 steps per mile, she took an estimated total one million to 1,250,000 steps on her Colorado Trail 2018 Thru-Hike.
"To all you 'Completers' – CONGRATULATIONS!!! Undertaking the entire 500-mile [804.7 km] Colorado Trail [Denver -> Durango] is no small thing, especially given its average elevation over 10,300 feet [3,139 m] and total climbing of some 90,000 vertical feet [17.04 miles or 27.4 km]. Completing the CT is a major accomplishment. We hope you had the experience of a lifetime.” - The Colorado Trail Foundation

I've given some sunset shots from the place we stayed on our honeymoon, but this morning I'll bring you a sunrise shot from that location. Hacienda Puerta del Cielo... and I'm literally standing in the doorway of our casita as I took this. What a glorious place this was! :)

Before 'hitting the trail' I usually figure it is a good idea to acclimate for a couple of days. The Leadville area is a perfect spot to do just that. Leadville itself is located at over 10,000 feet, and there are no shortage of camping possibilities, even at higher elevations. Dayhiking opportunities are plentiful as well.
Dayhike from Wurtz Ditch Rd to Holy Cross Wilderness Area, Segment 9
After camping at Clear Creek Reservoir Campground, I got up early and drove to Leadville (about 20 miles). It was 38f in the morning but I slept well.
Wurtz Ditch Rd is accessed via a dirt road. A very small parking area is here. The hike was about 8 miles roundtrip and fairly easy. Went over 2 bridges and finally made it to the edge of meadow, which I followed for 1/2 mile or more before seeing sign for Wilderness Area. This was all below treeling but it looked like trail may go above for a little while.
I took a short break and then headed back. Saw several other hikers. Also couldn't help but notice that some of the higher peaks had 'fresh' snow on them. I hoped it wasn't a foreshadowing of things to come.
My thought was to hike back to Wilderness Area sign from other trailhead tomorrow. I scouted it out and discovered that the road was very steep and narrow but also well maintained. My car did very well up steep grade but I don't think I want to do it again tomorrow.
Overall a good day. Maybe low 60s and breezy. Mostly cloudy but no rain yet. I camped at MayQueen Campground around Torquoise Lake. My site was near a stream. A nice sunset to end the day.
Wikipedia: The Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge", Italian pronunciation: [ˈponte ˈvɛkkjo] is a Medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewellers, art dealers and souvenir sellers. The Ponte Vecchio's two neighbouring bridges are the Ponte Santa Trinita and the Ponte alle Grazie.
The bridge spans the Arno at its narrowest point where it is believed that a bridge was first built in Roman times, when the via Cassia crossed the river at this point. The Roman piers were of stone, the superstructure of wood. The bridge first appears in a document of 996. After being destroyed by a flood in 1117 it was reconstructed in stone but swept away again in 1333 save two of its central piers, as noted by Giovanni Villani in his Nuova Cronica. It was rebuilt in 1345, Giorgio Vasari recorded the tradition in his day, that attributed its design to Taddeo Gaddi. Besides Giotto one of the few artistic names of the trecento still recalled two hundred years later. Modern historians present Neri di Fioravanti as a possible candidate. Sheltered in a little loggia at the central opening of the bridge is a weathered dedication stone, which once read Nel trentatrè dopo il mille-trecento, il ponte cadde, per diluvio dell' acque: poi dieci anni, come al Comun piacque, rifatto fu con questo adornamento. The Torre dei Mannelli was built at the southeast corner of the bridge to defend it.
It has always hosted shops and merchants who displayed their goods on tables before their premises, after authorization of the Bargello (a sort of a lord mayor, a magistrate and a police authority). The back shops (retrobotteghe) that may be seen from upriver, were added in the seventeenth century.
It is said that the economic concept of bankruptcy originated here: when a merchant could not pay his debts, the table on which he sold his wares (the "banco") was physically broken ("rotto") by soldiers, and this practice was called "bancorotto" (broken table; possibly it can come from "banca rotta" which means "broken bank"). Not having a table anymore, the merchant was not able to sell anything.
During World War II, the Ponte Vecchio was not destroyed by Germans during their retreat of August 4, 1944, unlike all other bridges in Florence. This was allegedly because of an express order by Hitler. Access to Ponte Vecchio was, however, obstructed by the destruction of the buildings at both ends, which have since been rebuilt using a combination of original and modern design.
The Pellucid Hawk Moth (Cephonodes hylas) is a moth of the family Sphingidae.The other names are coffee hawk moth, bee hawk moth.
The Coffee Hawk Moth has transparent wings and a stout body like a bumble bee. The head and thorax are greenish, and the abdomen is yellow with a black band, and a square black mark on the segment behind the black band.. The forewings have a small dark area at the tips.
