My attention has just been drawn to the “Water Towers of America” froup in Mr Zuckerberg's Walled Garden. Many splendid specimens in their natural environments.

Oh No! Am I now going to have to start plotting my routes around "Water Towers of Cambridgeshire"?

Water tower: Franklin Park IL by Mr Larrington, on Flickr

Getting closer requires crossing a busy dual cabbageway, it was far too hot to indulge in pedestrianism and I'd been awake for far too long, so I didn't try.

Have you found the "SAVE FERRIS" one yet?

(Checks map)

No. Nor am I likely to. Wrong side of Chicago from where I was this year and I'm going home from Seattle.

Ah, me hum bin thinkin' they is recent.

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #97 on:** 10 September, 2023, 02:03:39 am »

All the ones I've posted in the last couple of weeks were posted on the day they were taken. I was on the road for two weeks before arriving in Battle Mountain. Chicago -> St Louis, follow the Missouri up to Montana, across the mountains, down the Clearwater/Snake/Columbia rivers to the Pacific Coast and then down to Battle Mountain. Returning to BRITAIN from Seattle in a couple of weeks time.

Ah, didn’t realize you were back out there again.
