  1. Hype for the Future 147H: The Burkle Road Grid System

    Overview Within the State of North Dakota, the Burkle system for numbering rural roads throughout much of the State is enshrined in state law and encourages a consistent pattern of road nomenclature related to states elsewhere within the Midwestern region. In North Dakotan contexts, “streets” are east-west routes, while “avenues” are north-south routes; the baseline is located somewhat southwest of McClusky near the geographical center of the State of North Dakota forming the […]

  2. There are two kinds of people: those who would drive further on this road and those who would turn back. Some people I know wouldn't visit us in their expensive 4WD SUVs – they'd be afraid of getting their cars dirty. Also, tree branches could scratch their paint. And this is good – I wouldn't want to meet them. Years ago my friends had a small business – they carefully painted rich people's off-road cars with mud so they could pretend they did go off-road.

  3. Some water on the roads at last. The car is not very happy about it, but it's an old car and it has handled a lot. And we need water. Lots of water. We have a drought.

  4. It’s difficult to TOP West Cork

    When the weather is as nice as it is now, there’s nowhere like West Cork. Rolling hills and beautiful countryside, trees heavy with leaves and flowers in bloom, friendly people, and loads of things to do.

    One way is Bantry, Ballydehob is the other way. We were headed to Ballydehob when I stopped for a few quick photos.

  5. The perfect(?) car for the #RuralRoads of #Polesia. Looks like it's an ARO M461, which would make it at least 50 years old, much older than what's left of much younger cars behind it.

  6. Someone went off the road on that curve but managed to get back on track. I told some people who were coming to visit us to wait a few weeks, or leave their car somewhere in the village and let me drive them. If you have never driven on such roads in such conditions it doesn't really matter what monster of a 4WD car you have, and sometimes a small city car with good tires will outperform them. No, I don't consider myself a good driver. But I've driven here hundreds of times and got stuck only a few.

  7. This road is growing a hole. Again. Soon it will be time to start sticking branches in it, to warn other drivers. It's easy to lose a wheel here.

    There is one alternative road to the nearest village, a bit longer. And if you know the road you'll be safe. Poor strangers who happen to drive here for the first time.

  8. A tractor passed here a few hours ago so #IdąPsięta must check the road for any potential threats.

  9. A rural road in #Polesia. I'm in the right place at the right time. And I don't necessarily mean this particular location and this hour.

  10. Masza is trying to tell us that this water is very clean. She even convinced Moro to prove it by drinking from the puddle.

  11. It turns out that over the many years on Twitter and almost two years on Mastodon I've amassed thousands of photographs and many image macros (none of which really became a meme) that I can reply with a picture to a lot of things people post here. What I now need is a program (on Linux) to organize those pictures. It would have to let me use multiple tags, add geotagging (manually and from an OSM window in the program), add alttexts, so that the process of posting them would be easier.

    Until I find something like this feel free to throw a subject and I'll try to find an appropriate picture. I'm not testing any artificial intelligence, just my own brain.

    The main subjects are #RuralLife, #dogs, #wetlands, #fungi, #RuralBroadband, #RuralRoads. I rarely visit any city.

    Expect irreverence and weird humor.

  12. The road back home. We need more rain, but going will be tougher.

  13. Now that I've lied down in this cool water for a while I'll run home and jump into my people's bed.

  14. The only visible damage after the last night's storm, didn't even bother moving it.

  15. White man's footprint. And white man's tire prints.

    From Wikipedia: "Reportedly brought to the Americas by Puritan colonizers, plantain was known among some Native American peoples by the common name "white man's footprint", because it thrived in the disturbed and damaged ecosystems surrounding European settlements"

  16. It's hard to believe, but its ancestors ran on leaded grass.
