Driving home, road sites. . .

One of many pretty sunsets; one of my reasons for traveling. At home my yard is surrounded by trees blocking the views.

This rare sight still startles me. I approach and pass a towed truck cab.

The trailer I'm pulling is light so I do the speed limit and pass sometimes. That looks to be eight feet wide, 16 feet long, nice+.

The first time I saw grave boxes above ground was an accident. I took the wrong exit, hoped to re-locate the mechanic who fixed my truck before.

A southern Missouri exit for gasoline. The building next door was out of business. I took a break and walked around, across the street was this strange scene.

So I walked over; there was no gate at the entrance and no buildings anywhere on this side of the highway; just this dumpsite. I could not guess what the rolls of thick plastic/rubber were for.

About 100 miles south of St. Louis, MO is a long stretch of rock hills, pretty.

I sure hope that's not used nuclear waste on its way to Yucca Mountain

Didn't see anyone around the trucks, the semi was lucky it didn't roll over.

That is a slender cab, narrow on both sides by a foot. First sighting.

Civilization. Southern suburb of St. Louis, MO, no stops now till home.

I-270 bridge across Mississippi, just 200 yards from Jefferson Barracks Veterans Hospital.

Looking over bridge's south railing, see the banks of Mississippi River.

Near Cahokia IL along I-270 the granite rock quarry. Don’t breathe the cloud of dust.
