This includes cities, states, national parks, bridges, tunnels, trains, boats, ships, etc.
It looks like my brother, John, and I are both interested in trains, etc.
When I ride BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) near San Leandro, I usually watch for that small caboose which is in someone's back yard, near a creek. There is also a water tower near the caboose.
Do you realize we have to cross railroad tracks to get to Marina Village Shopping Center in Alameda? Before Alameda became an island, the first site of the western most part of the Transcontinental Railroad was in Alameda.

Virginia City, Nevada
ReplyDeleteOur family visited Virginia City, Nevada, probably in the late 1940s or early 1950s on one of our vacation trips. Virginia City was an actual ghost town when we visited. We did not see any other human beings or vehicles. There were probably a few small critters scurrying about. And the buildings were all in great disrepair.
But, now, there are people living there year 'round, a newspaper is published there and tourists enjoy visiting and going to restaurants, museums, antique shops, etc.

Agua Caliente, California
ReplyDeletehttp://www.co.san-diego.ca.us/parks/Camping/agua_caliente.html
Agua Caliente was quite primitive when we went there in the late 1940s, early 1950s. There were a few primitive outdoor and indoor "hot tubs" where people could enjoy the naturally hot spring water.
We camped out in the desert, probably without a tent.
Now, there are several actual swimming pools showers for campers, cooking grills, and lots of visitors with RVs.
