These are toll turkeys on our rail trail. Had to pay them a dollar to get through the gate.

Worth a buck just for that photo! My wife will love it. Wild turkeys often hung out in her mom's back yard. Fearless. Pretty comical at times, too.

They can be funny. The tom just came right up to me like he wanted something ($?), the hen just blocked the gate. My buddy took the perfect shot. By far the most aggressive birds are geese. They nest on the ground, and they will go after you if you wonder too close.

Here are pay phones in Romney, WV. Kind of rare nowadays!!

I took my wife shopping and told her she could get whatever would fit in the cart. She was not amused.

Kind of surreal to see this along a deserted stretch of rural road. Then again, I heard that Wall Street was no more than a dirt road over 350 years ago.

The thought of a palm tree lined ‘Strip’ seems far more appealing than a jungle of concrete towers.

No problem. Just take Fifth Avenue Parkway to Downing Street Lane to Mulholland Drive Road and you"ll be there.

a little off-road jaunt on our tandem up Powell butte. this was the first time I could make it around all of the turns without stopping.

It must be hard to swing a tandem around tight corners. I had not considered that before.

I have crossed over to the dark side with my newest toy.

Years ago my wife and I owned a tandem bike. I didn't mind riding that bike, but damn, it was slow up hills (but scary fast downhills)
We tried doing a sharp turn (for a tandem) on one ride and the bike, for lack of a better description, collapsed into itself.
We learned our lesson.....no sharp turns with this behemoth.
We both have our own ebikes now, but maybe one day we'll try out a tandem ebike.

Sunset over Green Valley.

Yep I am
Ok with somewhat sharp lefts but terrible on sharp rights though I did good this time. We went the main path the first time and the switchbacks made us walk around them. Got to miss the sharp roots too to keep the rear admiral happy.

As a train buff, I am always on the lookout. These are in Romney, WV and used for the Potomac Eagle Passenger excursion runs they do here. This rail line was defunct, and was then purchased by the State of WV. This made West Virginia the first state to own a private for profit railroad. Interesting indeed.
