Long road trip for the last month. Drove from Nevada to Virginia, traveled around Virginia and Maryland and then back to Nevada. A long the way I found multiple Brick Stores (Bricks and Minifigs and similar). I was able to spend time in three of them and collected quite a few bricks, plus getting some for the grand kids. Above you can see a portion of the Tan version I found. It took me almost a week to wash, sort and put away the haul.
Next on the schedule is Brickpalooza in Roseville CA on Dec 9. My goal is to fill in one of the angled holes with the rock wall and the start of Blacktron quarters, cafeteria and recreation room. Additionally I need to update the Space Gun controller such that it is contained in the platform. Once the area behind it is filled in with the rock wall, there will be no room for the controller. For this I have been working on upgrading the firmware in the Brick Buddy ONE to be compatible with all the other controllers. More on this later.
Finally some of the beautiful places to see in this country.
Southern Utah on State road 25.
Crossing the Colorado River over the far north end of Lake Powell.
These two pictures are of Utah State Route 261 as we descend off Cedar Mesa to Mexican Hat, Utah. Mostly single lane gravel/dirt road. These two show the best part of the road.
Monument Valley.
Sunrise on the Oklahoma Panhandle.
Somewhere in eastern Tennessee.
Along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Mabry Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
And the same mill, but from August of 1976.
Somewhere in Western Kansas or Eastern Colorado on US 50.
