Tachoblog’s View From The Cab – 23.11.09
Due to Tachoblog being otherwise engaged – don’t ask! – on Friday, View From The Cab is a bit late.
But, thanks as ever, to the Tachoblog Tribe, we can bring you a great selection of Views from around the world. So, let’s get started with WiggleWaggons who sent these two Views of the ‘beautiful sunrise in the Buckeye, Arizona this morning!’
Click below for the rest of this week’s Views…
Amishtrucker sent us this View of farmland near Batesville, Texas – ‘ a small ranch town on US 57 between San Antonio and Eagle Pass. This land is used for things like cabbage and cotton among other things’…
…This mill near Batesville is a cotton mill…
…Then on US 83 as he continued on his way towards Laredo, near the small town of Asherton there is this sign proclaiming US83 to be Texas Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway.
Darkstaff’s been all over the place (again!) and starts his Views with this of Birmingham, Alabama on a hazy morning…
…Where he asks ‘wouldn’t you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?’…
…Now we find him ‘rolling through the Mississippi wetlands’ on I-10…
…Where he spots a ‘Sweet ride!’…
…Finally from Darkstaff is this View of the Newburgh-Beacon bridge on I-84 in New York.
To New Zealand now and we catch up with Vic H who ‘was down on the west coast of the North Island again early this week’ and says that ‘the first two photos were taken near Mokau’…
…’Since you had cows last time, I thought I would let you have some sheep this time!’…
…He also sent this one ‘just to show you that the sun doesn’t always shine everywhere in New Zealand’ which was taken at about 2pm on Wednesday, where the road over the Titiokura Saddle on the Napier-Taupo road was almost obscured by the low cloud.
Back in America, Heydriver and Goldie sent this View of Virginia farmland in the shadow of Drogheda Mountain near Rixeyville. Heydriver says ‘I used to live not too far from this farm. All lands, either rural or urban have a beauty to them. Sometimes we can’t or won’t see the beauty, but it’s there for sure. This part of Virginia is also a place I could retire too. The land is fair and the folk are the salt of the earth. Good people are every where too. I just had to post this one.’…
…Then we find them ‘crossing the James River on US Rte 29, S. Lynchburg Virginia’. Heydriver adds that ‘the fog on this road can be killer. And, you should take steps to not get killed in it. Usually the fog runs deadly thick from Charlottesville to Amherst. With the worse part between Nelson County Wayside (aka Home of the Waltons) and Lovingston.’
TheNose100 was Delivering at McComb, Ohio and asks ‘Is the Cobra Mike ready to strike up a conversation?’…
…He’s still at the same delivery for his second View…
…In his third View, TheNose100 is on his second load for the day in town of North East, Pennsylvania. This View has the sun setting, the previous ones had sunrise so he has had a long day today.
TruckerDesiree and Karma the Wonderdog were parked in Kansas where Karma can sit outside while TruckerDesiree does her logbook.
In Germany, Rainerri1967 was on the way to work and in Schwenningen, Blackforest…
…He says that this is his ‘truck for tonight’.
Finally for this week, we catch up with Emailokc who sent this View of Arizona 68. HE describes this as a ‘pretty drive, hard grades to climb though’…
…and we finish with his View of the Arkansas sunset.
