The Dixie Highway was planned out in December 1914 to connect the Midwest with the South, from Chicago to Miami.
By the mid-1920s, the project was largely completed with a network of roads interconnected across 10 states with more than 5,000 miles of paved, bricked road. But, by 1927, Dixie Highway became part of the US Route System, and was therefore, mostly abandoned. But, a portion of it still remains in remote Florida, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 2005.
“It’s one of the oldest roads in America,” according to the historian.
Upon on my arrival, I started from south toward north, before I entered, there is a warning: “Travel at your own risk.” And another prohibiting the removal of the bricks in the road. Doing so, it says, warrants prosecution “to the fullest extent of the law.”
The historic stretch of Old Dixie Highway is 10 miles long, and would recommend to drive slowly as there are some thick soft-sand on the road that could cause slide off from the road if driving too fast.
Interesting fact: The brick was manufactured by the Graves Shale Brick Company in Birmingham, Alabama, belonging to a slave-owning man who fought for the Confederacy. It took 237,600 such bricks to build just 1 mile of road, 9 feet wide. Others are with the words "SOUTHERN CLAY MFG CO” for the Southern Clay Manufacturing Company in Tennessee.

Mt. Aso, the largest active volcano in Japan, has a caldera spanning 25 kilometres north-south and 18 km east-west with a circumference of around 120 km, formed as a result of four huge caldera eruptions that took place over a period 90,000–300,000 years ago.

You know for years I have been thinking this was the Pacific Ocean, offshore from Sydney Australia, but now after zooming out with Google Maps what I see is the Tasman Sea, and the Pacific Ocean is a bit more up and over to the right. Anyway this sign and fence are there to stop you falling of the edge of the firm world and into the water below; or to stop you sloping on ice? I don't think so. A perfect day at Bronte Beach, not a cloud in the sky; whatever ocean or sea that may be.

NEW ROAD AYOUT AHEAD IN BELFAST CITY
Looking at this sign in detail it would appear that whoever created it made an error … there is no indication that the “L” was removed after the manufacture of the sign.
As I came round a corner on the Kawa, knee slider scraping on the ground (only joking) I saw this Ride With Caution sign. According to a web search the National Cyclists Union used to put these up all over the place, warning cyclists of steep hills and stuff. Before they ran out of money and went out of existence after a long battle with a rival.
I absolutely love the sign, though.
