Tachoblog’s View From The Cab – 15.7.11
Time to see out of the Tachoblog Tribes’ windscreens now as we present this week’s View From The Cab.
Tachoblog’s really grateful to the Tachoblog Tribe for sending in their View From The Cab pictures, without them we wouldn’t have a post!
Before we start, can Tachoblog remind you about remind you about Summer Trucking, our new photographic competition. There are some great prizes up for grabs and if you like View From The Cab but don’t drive a truck, you can still enter Summer Trucking!
Now on with the Views.
We start this week’s View From The Cab in Sweden where Bergmanman had ‘foggy weather on E4 to Hudiksvall’.
Now click below for the rest of this week’s View From The Cab…
In America, RandyNose spotted that some ’10,000 maniacs fan tagged this Silver Creek, New York bridge some time ago’…
…’Looks like the retaining wall is almost done here on Main St, Silver Creek, New York’…
…’An old ice / cold storage unit is being tore down near the Innerbelt Bridge, I hear it’s due to a new ramp being put in. – AND, I don’t think that it was being used, so no one’s pouting that it’s being tore down’…
…His comment for his last View was simply ‘soft shoulders are only nice on girls.’
Now we welcome AZVern to the Tachoblog Tribe. His first View was from where he was ‘headed to Pearce, Benson, Bisbee, Douglas’…
…This View is called ‘Bisbee Blue’…
…One from the ‘Mule Pass Tunnel, Bisbee, Arizona’…
…And one from ‘MM 191 Arizona I-10 Eastbound’…
…Now Tachoblog’s almost certain that you’ve heard of the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, and here’s a View of it…
..Lastly from AZVern, this View is Mexico – ‘If you look closely, below the power line, you can see the border fence’.
Finally for this week we head to New Zealand where Vic H says that he’s seen that ‘Our Man in Africa, Jerry Burley has made a comment on last week’s View From The Cab with a question about whether or not I am the only person in NZ as there never seem to be any other vehicles on the road. Well, on the way down to the South Island on Monday, between Taihape and Utiku in the central North Island, I did manage to find a tractor which you may just be able to see in the distance, so it proves that I do not drive the only vehicle in the country’…
…’And there are always plenty of sheep, just a few of the 30 million in the country are here in this paddock, just along the road from the previous photo. As I don’t think too many Aussies read this it may be safe to mention NZers and sheep in the same sentence’…
…’On the way home yesterday I was rushing a bit near Koromiko on the way to the Picton ferry terminal when I got a call from the InterIsland Line “Sorry Vic, the “Arahura” has broken down so there’s no 1030 sailing, I’ve re-booked you on the “Kaitaki” at 1345. That probably explains the lack of other trucks in this photo, the other drivers must have heard about the cancelled sailing before I did’…
…’Anyway, I promised Jerry that I would try to prove that I wasn’t driving the only truck in New Zealand, so although this last photo was taken 3 years ago, it was exactly 3 years ago this week. This was taken on the Desert Road when I was following 2 of other tankers through a bit of snow’.
And that’s all for this week’s View From The Cab. Tachoblog will see you all next week.
