I got a late start leaving New Orleans on December 20th and it was already night when I decided to route myself to Route 66. Because it barely registers on a map in many places, setting a location along the Route 66 proved challenging. I wanted to try and cut diagonally without really knowing how.I set Hydro, Oklahoma as my point to enter Route 66 and set Gun Barrel City, Texas as the city we'd sleep in. I chose both places because of their amazing names.
Because we left late in the afternoon, I drove through Louisiana in the dark and didn't cross into (Waskom) Texas until nearly midnight. Scotch and I arrived at the hotel around 4am and switched rooms twice due to fleas. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. It was pretty overcast when we left and I was thrilled because I thought it would be a great day to take advantage of the kinda boring Texas scenery by shooting some very long exposure shots with the 10 stop filter.
Then it got windy. This shot was taken about 5miles from the hotel and from here on out, the weather progressed from windy and very overcast to bad and finally terrible. Winds hovered in the 20-40mph range through Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada before stopping about an hour away from our destination in Hollywood, CA. During this time, we saw freezing temps, giant storms moving across the landscape, very difficult winds and some blustering snow that finally forced us off the road near Gallup, New Mexico. I wasn't able to take a single long exposure photo the entire rest of the trip as the wind never allowed it. This was most disappointed for me while visiting the Petrified Forest In Arizona in mid 30's temperatures and wind gusts in the 30mph range. Saw some of the very best landscapes and skies I might ever see but had no way to really shoot how I wanted.
Scotch wasn't too happy (but was very comfortable) for most of the trip after leaving New Orleans. He'd tap the window, i'd open it, he'd try to stick his head out and then give up. It seemed to mark the end of our 12 years of mutually enjoyed roadtrips. Taking a 12 year old dog on a 4,000 mile 10+ day journey from coast to coast wasn't all that easy, but it was definitely an amazing experience I waited too long to have.

Kansas City Southern Railway 056 on the BN at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in July 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This car arrived in the company of five KCS SD40-2's and the BN business car Yellowstone River. It looks like a former troop sleeper and may be a test car, I don't know for sure. I sent an inquiry to the KCS Historical Society and received the following:
Chuck, thank you for your inquiry to Kansas City Southern Historical Society, Inc. via our web site. You are welcome to use any of the information below. There is a bit of misinformation based on invalid assumptions about this car. It was indeed an ex-troop sleeper. It later was used in wreck-train service before becoming a test car in 1981. The following paragraph is composed of excerpts from messages posted anonymously to the KCSnotes e-mail group by someone who had worked aboard the car during that period: I spent a good portion of my life riding this car in the early 1980s. I was very much involved when the KCS 056 and 057 were in test car service starting very late March of 1981. In fact it made its inaugural run on Train 91, a Welsh Power Plant coal train, starting that night at Pittsburg the day President Regan was shot. The car was originally taken out of wreck train service in early 1981, and converted to living quarters by Comet Industries in KC when the KCS started testing its automatic Fuel Saver device right at the end of March, 1981. A dynamometer coupler was later added. The car was later wired and piped to go mid-engine consist. The car did many miles on the KCS of course as well as Cicero, IL to Seattle 6 round trips. Anyone who has (I think it is) the Oct 1981 issue of Trains there is a picture of it coming out of the Cascade Tunnel. There also was a bunch of coal trains on the BN in NE. It also did a round trip from KC to Pueblo, CO on D&RGW trains on MOP track. The 056 and 057 did have the same caboose trucks at first, but it was very bouncy rough ride. The 056 had two huge water tanks hanging from the ceiling inside from the center door area going back to the B end. The water was for the showers and lavatories in the B end as well as the kitchenette in the A end as well as piped to the 057 when we used it for extra beds. That 057 was all beds other than the shower and lavatory area. I don't think the 057 had a center door either then. We only used the 057 a couple /3 times. It wasn't long they put regular freight trucks under the 056 that made it ride like it had no suspension. After removing some of the springs, it wasn't too bad unless on jointed rail still quite common then or when the car got over 60 MPH when the A end truck started truck hunting. Just for the record when the fellow who posted the picture wrote, "This was listed as a dynamometer car but some KCS observers have noted that the "Spot 1" on these cars indicates that it is a rail defect spotting car." To the best of my knowledge the car was never used a rail defect car. The "Spot 1" designation was a joke I am 99% sure. The fellow at the time that oversaw the work and modifications of the car nickname was "Spot" due to his very shiney bald spot. It appears that KCS 057 didn’t remain on the roster as long as KCS 056, but the latter lasted long enough to be painted into the KCS gray livery and to be renumbered to KCS 10. Eventually, it was retired and sold to the Progress Rail Services’ railcar scrapping yard at Waskom, Texas. Progress apparently bought it for its trucks, then sold the body to a private party who moved it to another location in Waskom, where it was last known to be sitting on the ground. Neither its current location nor even its existence are known to me. You will find some other photos of this car at:

Leerlooierij-Tannery
Fès was de hoofdstad van Marokko totdat de Fransen kwamen en Rabat het bestuurscentrum maakten. Het is de oudste van de koningssteden.
Er zijn talrijke monumenten in Fès, waaronder de universiteit en het heiligdom van Moulai Idriss, die de stad heeft gesticht.
De Karaouine moskee uit 859 is een van de oudste en beroemdste moskeeën in het westelijk deel van de moslim-wereld.
Het is eeuwenlang een van de belangrijkste spirituele en intellectuele centra van de Islam geweest, en de moslim-universiteit van Fès is nog steeds hier gevestigd.
De medina is een waar doolhof van straatjes en steegjes, waar je je zonder moeite in de middeleeuwen waant. Gemotoriseerd verkeer is verboden; ezels zorgen voor het vervoer van zware spullen.
In het centrum van de medina liggen de leerlooierijen, waar nog op traditionele manier huiden worden gelooid en geverfd. Toeristen lopen er vaak rond met een takje mint tegen de neus geduwd, tegen de stank.
Fes or Fez (Arabic: فاس [Fās], French: Fès) is the fourth largest city in Morocco, after Casablanca, Rabat and Marrakech with a population of 946,815 (2004 census). It is the capital of the Fès-Boulemane Region.
Fes is one of the four so-called "imperial cities" (the others are Marrakech, Meknes and Rabat). It is separated into three parts, Fes el Bali (the old, walled city), Fes-Jdid (new Fes, home of the Mellah), and the Ville Nouvelle (the French-created, newest section of Fes). The Medina of Fes el Bali, the largest of the two medinas of Fes, is believed to be the largest contiguous car-free urban area in the world. Fes el Bali is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In Louisiana, I-20 roughly parallels U.S. Route 80 through the northern part of the state.
Entering the state from near Waskom, Texas, the highway immediately enters the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area, intersecting Interstate 49 near downtown Shreveport and passing close to Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier city.
From that area, the highway traverses mainly rural, hilly terrain, bypassing Minden, Ruston and Grambling before reaching Monroe.
From Monroe, I-20 enters flatter terrain as it approaches the Mississippi River. Before crossing the Mississippi, the highway passes Tallulah. At the Mississippi River, I-20 leaves Louisiana and enters Vicksburg, Mississippi.

De meest opzienbarende vondst die getoond werd tijdens de door de Cultuur-Historische Vereniging georganiseerde Vondstenavond was het ca. 14.000 jaar stenen werktuig, waarover meer hieronder in de reactieruimte.
Janke Boomsma bracht tijdens de vondstenavond een vondst mee die haar veel te jong gestorven partner Dirk Zordrager in zijn jeugd op de Richel had gevonden.
Het betrof hier een aardewerken kom met blauw motief van omstreeks 30 cm in doorsnede.
Wietze Kikstra sr., ook op de avond aanwezig, kon zich herinneren dat Dirk de aardewerken kom destijds samen met Cees Tot had gevonden.
Voor de volledigheid van het verhaal van deze vondst, heb ik contact opgenomen met Cees, en hij wist het volgende de vertellen;
‘Het moet zo’n beetje in de laatste klas van de Lagere School of de eerste klas van de Mulo geweest zijn dat de kom is gevonden, we waren een jaar of 13 -14.
Ik had in die tijd een ijzeren roeibootje , die mijn vader van Harmen Wortel had gekocht. Harmen had het idee gehad om van zijn woonboot Canutus roeiboten te gaan verhuren aan badgasten. Dit verhuren kwam niet echt van de grond, vooral omdat badgasten zich buiten de haven doorgaans geen raad wisten met de vrij sterke stroming rond de kop van de haven.
In het jaar daarop kon mijn vader voor een prijsje een van zijn roeibootjes overnemen, waarin hij nog eigenhandig een nieuwe plaat in laste.
Dit gebeurde overigens elektrisch; mijn vader was de eerste die elektrisch kon lassen op Vlieland en hij deed dit met zelfgemaakte set ; een vliegtuigdynamo die werd aangedreven door de aftak-as van de Fordson Major trekker.
Het eerste jaar mocht ik alleen in de haven roeien, en nadat ik kon laten zien dat ik kon roeien en wrikken, mocht ik het jaar er op ook verder.
Zo ging ik een keer samen met mijn maat Dirk Zordrager naar de Richel om daar een net te zetten.
Vanuit de haven ging het op naar de Richel en landen daar op de noordwest zijde.
We wilden het net in het Franse Gaatje zetten, dus staken we lopende de Richel over. De terugweg was nog pittig, want een aardige zak met vis op de nek en over een deel van de Richel met van dat papzand.
Het was midden op de Richel dat we die kom in het zand zagen liggen. Het was nog even graven, maar daar kwam een puntgave kom uit het zand van de Richel’
Tijdens de vondstenavond werd over de kom gezegd dat het hier gaat om een waskom, gemaakt in Engeland, omstreeks 1850.
Tijdens zoeken op internet kwam ik diverse washbowls tegen, echter niet met exact hetzelfde motief.
Wel een vergelijkbare in een overzicht van Engels badkamer aardewerk
Nu kan er meer gezegd worden over de herkomst van een 14.000 jaar oud stenen werktuig, dan over de herkomst van een Engelse waskom uit omstreeks 1850.
Het is vrijwel zeker afkomstig uit het wrak van een schip dat in de nabijheid van de Richel is vergaan, of misschien wel op grote afstand van de Richel, en is het door stroming en golven op de Richel geworpen en zelfs tot het midden van de plaat gebracht.
Echter, uit welk wrak, of vanaf welk schip het afkomstig is, en welke reis het daarna heeft gemaakt, zal wel nooit bekend worden.

Though it is unclear when this land was first used for burials, the oldest known graves date from 1872. At its creation the cemetery served Catholics in Harrison County and St. Joseph Parish, including Carthage, Jefferson, Waskom, Uncertain and Scottsville. Visiting priests served parishioners until the Rev. Thomas Loughery was sent by the Galveston Diocese in 1874. Land for the cemetery was sold to the Diocese by C. F. Chevaillier in 1878. Among those buried here are a number of workers who died while employed in Marshall's various railroad industries and whose families could not be located. White crosses placed by the Knights of columbus mark many unknown graves. (1999)
Dit was het voor de arme oude mannen in Amersfoort: een bedstee, een tafel met stoel en een kist om je kleren in te bewaren en een po en een waskom..
Making my way west back from South Carolina to Los Angeles.
On this day, 1 November, my drive takes me from Bessemer, Alabama, near Birmingham, to Abilene, Texas.
20 miles or so west of Shreveport, I am now entering Texas. Now I am officially in the "West" - par for Western states, Texas (and all states to the west) do not mandate a minimum speed limit for limited-access highways, since they often are the only available roads and must be available to pedestrians, bicycles, and slow-moving vehicles in rural areas. Also par for the West, speed limit rises to 75 miles per hour.

Interstate 20 in Texas (abbreviated I-20 or IH-20) is a major east–west Interstate Highway in the Southern United States, running east from a junction with Interstate 10 east of Kent, Texas, through the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex to the border with Louisiana near Waskom, Texas. The original distance of Interstate 20 was 647 miles (1,041 km) from I-10 to the Louisiana border, reduced to the current distance of 636 miles (1,024 km) with the rerouting of I-20 in the 1980s and 1990s. I-20 is known as the Ronald Reagan Memorial Highway within the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
Interstate 20 in Texas was designated in 1959, and was to replace or run parallel to U.S. Route 80. Initial construction began from east to west and as bypass loops around larger cities. On October 1, 1964, I-20 was rerouted so that it followed I-35W through Fort Worth (it still followed I-35E through Dallas). By 1967, the highway was complete from the Louisiana border to the western side of Fort Worth on a route to the south of US 80, with slower construction in the lesser populated areas of West Texas concurrent with US 80. On December 2, 1971, I-20 was rerouted across the southern side of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, with the old section through downtown Dallas and Fort Worth being redesignated as Interstate 30. In 1991, the entire concurrent designation of US 80 was removed from the I-10 interchange to Dallas.
