I took a trip

[Walter]

I took a trip this week that brought me to Chicago Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. Quite a ride I must say

Here is a shot of what was formally known as the Sears Tower in Chicago


The Hancock building in Chicago


Sears Tower out the back window of the truck


Freight train passing a farm in northern Indiana


Crossing the Chesapeake bay at sun up


The Roth bridge near St. Georges Delaware


The Delaware memorial bridge. Crosses the Delaware river between Delaware and New Jersey


Hope Creek nuclear power plant cooling tower in Salem county New Jersey


Road sign at the far southern end of the New Jersey Turnpike


I took this picture at a rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike. Was it really necessary to place a sign telling us what this object was?


You just never know what you're going to see out on the open road

Nice places. I hope to be able to see some of them soon.

In regards to the fire hydrant, yes, it is needed. You forget, this is a world where a cup of hot coffee needs to say "hot" on it.

Actually, the fire hydrant sign does have an explanation; I just preferred to make fun of it instead lol

When it snows here in New Jersey, things like fire hydrants get buried in snow banks that the plows create. The sign is supposed to be tall enough that it sticks out higher than the snow bank. This sign is probably much too short and really should be made taller.
