The former Piedmont Service Station in Chase City, Mecklenburg Couunty, Virginia is a classic structure with the Gulf orange and cobalt blue colors. The pull through area (port cochere) is expansive and covers a large area, including an asymmetrical wall pattern which matches the interesting angles of the covered area. The station dates from about 1925. It has been well-preserved, down to the decorfative pressed tin ceiling of the covered area (see images 8 and 9). A mechanic's bay is located on the left part of the building. The Gulf sign is complete with bullet holes. This must have been a prime location, occupying a corner lot. It's not in operation today. Is is a contributing structure in the Chase City Warehouse and Commercial Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places 12/11/2020 with reference number 100005923.

This is an attractive bullet riddled abandoned car that is found alongside a fun steep trail called "Archery."
Klamath Falls has some very nice mountain bike trails. I have been riding them since 1988 when I bought my first mountain bike. Most of the trails in these photos are on public land but most of the trails are on private property and the mountain bikers have had full access for two decades.
Regrettably many of the trails are now the sites of land development, including some gated communities. Every time I ride or trail run up here, which is nearly every day, I see some new development. I am not complaining - it has been private land all these years and I am glad for the many years of terrific riding we have had. Who wouldn't want to live here? It is a wonderful place.

Yesterday was my 35th Birthday but Dad and I celebrated today with a bit of target practice at the lease. After a while we decided that our typical targets were boring so we went red-neck style and annihilated a bit of litter some slobs had left behind. The dreaded coke can did not survive...and the beer can villains were picked of one by one...the enemy has been thoroughly conquered--lol. (We took the mess out for recycling afterward)
In this photo is myself with the Ruger P89 but I also practiced with various others. Here you see me coping with a left-right issue before I flick the safety switch. I'm right handed but severely left-eye dominate....I really concentrate to shoot with both eyes open and normally close the right one. I'm a total lefty with rifles though.
Anyone else have this problem that maybe can share some advice?

A Ohio Guardmember from the 1192nd Engineer Company takes aim at a target on the Caughman Range on Camp Liberty in Baghdad, Iraq during an April 3 weapons familiarization and qualification. The event provided an opportunity for members of the horizontal construction unit to stay proficient on their assigned weapons while they awaited their next construction mission.

I could not post her without posting the boy with his gun safely in his holster, and I could not post the boy with his cap gun without the boy sucking in his gut acting all tough and grown up. The three seem to go together somehow, they tell me a story together.
I bought her at an antique show

An old pick-up truck in the bottom of a ravine inspired me...trespassing and a sturdy 4x4 may or may not been involved. A classic rural use for abandoned vehicles everywhere .Even your's truly has partook back in the day.
