Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Even better. And I really like that '57 sedan. That's my kind of traveling. I wondered since that overlook is south of I-68 if you had come up 219, then figured most people would travel that far on the big roads. It's nice to not be most people, ain't it?
![]() I learned from Grumpy Old Man preferring to run the backroads is known as being a "shunpiker". I like that, one of my favorite pastimes. I'm building my (scratch-built) '67 SWB with a Muncie M22 and 3.73s as an early-70s era hot truck. Not worried about overdrive. My dream with that is to travel the country on the old roads. Point A-B with the emphasis on the "-". A few years ago I jumped in the Sonoma my friend had lent me while we swapped an engine into my Suburban at his place. It was the weekend after labor day and he wasn't going to be home. I hadn't used the little truck but to drive home and decided to take advantage of the low fuel consumption and take a ride. The truck had PA tags, so at the end of my driveway I decided PA was the place to go. I ended up traveling west on US 30 until I was above Friendsville and meandered my way down. Had a great day, traveled 400 miles Here's the thread I did. Lots of pictures http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...+a+little+ride

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Great pics and a cool trip! I'm with you on the backroads, I travel them every chance I get - I enjoy seeing the small towns, historical sites, etc. along the way.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
That's what I like, going through the towns, crossroads, farmland, forests, up and down the hills, around the curves, and crossing over the rivers on old bridges at grade in the valleys. All the things the interstates left behind.
I always liked (related to) this Ozark Mountain Daredevil song:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
That's sort of the plan for our 2016 pickup and high roof topper: just wander around and stop whenever / wherever we feel like it.
I've driven I-25 so dang many times that one day I would like to take the slow roads across Wyoming north <--> south.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
That's how it felt being there. I stood and took it all in a while in the silence. I took those after turning around, heading back up out of the river fog. But on my way over the wooded crest, going in before the fog, an adult black bear scuttled across the road up ahead of me. It was a great early morning go get coffee round about. I ended up at three graveyards that morning. Definitely a morning of reflection. The first one was top of the hill from town, Blooming Rose Chapel, where I drank me first cup. I got pictures looking out over the valley and walked through the graveyard looking at names and dates. The oldest ones were illegible, but back to 1804 I think was the earliest. I have ancestors in that one. It was after that I saw that one in the fog. I went to the next settlement downriver, which is north into PA, for my next coffee. Confluence, PA is where three rivers converge, originally called Turkey Foot way back in frontier days. I found a spot along the river to drink my coffee. On my way back I took another turn to the river and got pictures of another old chapel with a graveyard not far from my mom's town
The river is behind the 'Burb Mill Run Chapel. That's the river opening in the background of first picture Homemade siding on the chapel

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Ok, to go with the theme, I took a random dump here. This is at Rock Art Ranch, south of Winslow, where there is an awesome petroglyph site. The ranch has been in the family since the late 1800s, they have scavenged whatever to build with, in this case the windmill pumps water, there is running water for the sink and toilet.

Went up to Whidbey Island this weekend. One of the guns at Fort Casey, and crazy surfers, that water is very cold all year round.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Killer Bee, about 25 years ago we built a house for a retired couple named Grayum from Oak Grove. They owned a lumber yard and ready mix plant there.
CG, about the same time we remodeled the main house and built a guest house and caretakers house for a retired couple from Whidbey Island. Actually they were grew up in Colorado, made their fortune in California and still had a house on Whidbey Island.
