Popular Post other dog Posted September 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2018 This week I got to bring my lovely assistant with me. I made sure she had the proper safety equipment. We went to Salina, Kansas. We saw lots of animals. ...and nature- She got a big kick out of this in the ladies room somewhere in Illinois, so she went back to take a picture of the "donkey hay". I've seen similar items in lots of men's rooms, but I didn't know they had them in the lady's room too. And this- A Jim Beam truck in Kentucky. We went across Hawks Nest coming back. Stopped at the overlook. Putting a new wiper blade on. Oversize load in Suffolk, Va. We even saw a girl in a car. Having an assistant was the best part of the trip, she took almost all of the pictures. 8 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

HeavyGunner Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Glad to see you’re having a fun OD. As always I enjoyed your pics. 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

beatngu Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I sometimes wonder what could be seen on the open road, if only I had gone OTR. Your mobile photography is always interesting to see, thank you for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your mobile photography is always interesting to see, thank you for sharing. I got a 30 min. break in at Hawk's Nest, plenty of time to look around and walk that little loop trail.I have stopped there before, but it was new to Zina. One of our drivers said I should show her the full truck driver experience, taking a shower at a truck stop. But I told her to start with she would not have to do that, we would get a motel room at least every other night. So I figured taking her across rt. 60 from Charleston would also be a true trucking experience, like back before the turnpike and I-64 was finished and you didn't have much of a choice. And the Hawk's Nest Tunnel was very interesting, I hadn't bothered to google it before, but she did. The intake for the tunnel is all the way to the far right side of the dam. I used to take the time to stop and look at a lot of things, but the idiotic hours of service and electronic logs today pretty much put a stop to it. Some places I have taken the time to look at include Hoover Dam, the aquarium in Boston, the Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta, Ohio, Mt. Rushmore, the New River Bridge in WV, and i'm sure there's more. Now I can drive by and look at things, but there's hardly ever time to stop anywhere.

BillyT Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 OD, I drove over Hoover dam a couple times before 911, they won't let you drive a semi over it anymore! It has some pretty tight turns, but imagine if a terrorist drove a load of explosives or toxic chemicals off the dam into the river! One of the most beautiful sights I've seen is that dam.I used to cross the New River on 19 going to and from my home in Washington Pa. That whole state is beautiful! I heard it costs over 100k to periodically regild the capital dome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Yep, that's when I stopped at Hoover Dam, back when you still drove over the dam itself. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Tom, Thanks for the reportage. I like that big pump in the pumpkin field (oh, no pumpkins there - nevermind), the oversize load, the Jim Beam truck. And the scenaries made from Hawk Nest view point are unbelivable. Marked the place on my list. Say hello to the redhead Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
