Just some nice pics to review. The roads of Texas.

back from first week in june i think. and a couple of other misc trips. dual sport-er in training

pics from small towns and around live oak , bee and atascosa counties texas. blacktop, calachie, natural gravel, and iron oxide (red) sand roads near atascosa river. As i recall it was about 179 miles full trip in one instance. this was my first real test of "hard riding" (with no spills).

map of future ride in november in texas hill country, dreaming...

Industrial incident photos from summer 2016: burned out exhaust manifold from a union pacific locomotive and crude tank truck fire incident from interstate 37 south texas.

also a couple of pics from our regional electricity generation plant. vast resources of a coal like substance which is used as fuel for power generation. i believe it is described as a young, coal like, lignite material resource. it works, using it as i type

pics are resized too small so next time will do a better job. just figuring it out

when dispatch says train on fire, can't be good. fortunately no big deal. safety shutoff did their job. diesel leaking on to exhaust manifold.
