Traxter 1
Welcome to my March 2023 avatar . . traxster, traveling my own defined 5000+ loop around the US on a USA Rail Pass, which gives me 30 days and ten steps as defined by Amtrak. See here if you want more. Background on Amtrak here. Amtrak defines routes by names as here. Traxter 1 and […]
People on the Boro 31
The recent period of extended summer in the boro means crew are out, enjoying fresh air, like these guys. I always wonder who these seafarers are, where they are from, how seafaring has shaped their lives and families, as well as how long they’ve been at sea, both on this voyage and over the course […]
Truckster! 17
I caught up with this . . the other day, Switching lanes . . . I noticed something I’ve seen before like here from a decade ago, and in many other posts like here. Of course, others become art objects for a while, maybe until they rust back into the earth. Cars arrive from […]
Traxter 6
If you’re starting with this post, here’s background: back in January I bought an Amtrak USA Rail Pass on sale for $299. Here are the rules and conditions. I researched and assembled an itinerary, which so far has brought zero glitches. I’m combining trains with rental cars. Segment 7 of 10 begins in Kansas […]
Something Different 65
I traveled RT by air last week, and as usual, tried to spot landmarks, entertainment for the map fan that I am. Mount Vernon is how the smart phone labels it. I’d call it a view of Mobile Bay at dusk, looking south. I concur with the phone that this is New Orleans, one of […]
Montezuma to Lyons
Here I get to prove once again that you can never step into the same river twice, or you can never see the same stretch of canal the same way twice. Click here to see what I did with previous set of photos. The photo below was taken from the NE corner of the triangular […]
Lyons to Palmyra
Happy 120 years old, Urger! I urge you to read the note at the bottom of this post. And . . . .Oops! I read the timer wrong. Bidding for Grouper, in Lyons NY, ends about six hours from now. Lyons is a county seat, but it’s possible to take a photo of lock E-27, […]
Bikester 1 Tonawanda to Albion
In that case, en avant, I should fuel and lubricate the tires. Sunday 0735. This is the look of focus! I soon stopped and put on my gloves. I encountered three types of surface . . . the cinders path increased effort for the “hybrid” tires I used. Just roughly speaking, I’d say roughly 35% […]
Seats of Power 5
It seats one to power nothing, but makes a good puzzle here in the PowWow River some years ago. In dry season, you walked through the gate and sat here to fish or just sit. Poseidon’s Sea-Bee Pusher power unit has has no seat, so you make your own with your own, complete with a […]
Seats of Power 4
My trickster truckster hopper is filling and will dump one of these days soon, but this photo fits better in the “seats” category. But to put this back on the water, here’s the power seat on ex-Catherine Turecamo now John Marshall. I’d love to see this vessel in her current colors and working in her […]
