Trucking Snapshots

Just a hodge podge of things we have seen recently

We took a new route through Montana on this last trip east and it took us right beside Custer's Last Stand. The tiny blip on the crest of the ridge below is the monument to the fight. Looking at the desolate land- it sure makes you wonder what they were fighting for!?


We also passed through South Dakota on this trip. This is one of the prettier vistas we encountered.....


We were way out in the country-- but this picture makes it seem like we were also way back in time..........


Aren't these interesting up close? These are the vanes of the new electricity generating wind machines that are popping up all over the country. Each vane is better than 50 feet long. I think they look like beached whales.......


Can you guess where this is??
You'd be right if you guessed Buffalo NY!! (that's a pretty funny shadow of our truck too)
Here are a pair of snapshots of horses grazing in open fields. It is always a picturesque sight to see but on this trip we witnessed horses in Montana (top photo) and in Virginia (bottom photo)-- What a different life for those horses!



We got stuck in a traffic tie-up in Virginia on Sunday so we got off I-95 finally and took the back roads to reach our delivery in Gordonsville. Turned out to be a beautiful drive that cris-crossed lesser known Civil War battlefields and went very near James Madison's estate. Here is one of the better photos of our route.
