As long as I'm wearing a parachute, no problem.

This walkway parallels the road running alongside the lake (out of view at left):

Two versions of the road to a small isolated volcanic remnant called Initial Point because it is where the survey of Idaho started. The second image is a multi-file stitch.

If you want to take a stroll (or drive) down Memory Lane, you have to make a right turn right here:

The intersection of Otto Rd and Memory Ln, Fulton County, Illinois.

Crossing the Salmon River, which is very small here as this is close to its source. If you closely above and a little to the right of the sign, you can see a white speck which is a vehicle marking the farther path of this road.

road through the dunes

Not many motorcycles or cars use this road. It's closed by a bargate and few have a key to the padlock. In winter, a fair number of snowmobiles go along trails that branch off this road. It's one of the places where we walk Tralee.

Rural back roads

Due to a rise in the water table, this one eventually disappears into Goose Lake.

From a dogwalk in mid-September - it doesn't look a lot different now. Canon p&s:

Nice to see the mix of a road vehicle and a rows vehicle in the same picture.

The lads here drive things like the yellow vehicle on major two lane roads, at 20mph, slowing down peak time inter-city road traffic. They get a queue a mile long behind them and seem to think that is a badge of merit.
