Route pics

[jasonc]

If there isn't time to take photos, please don't give it another thought. I recall you saying that the Robalo-Oakmont route was a busy one.

no its short but I have to meet my pastor at 4, and I will be pre reading the kmart-vista route. I pre read about 50 reads on that route. that doesn't take long. the robalo drive section which is on the lagoon is busy but not so much on Oakmont. I may see if I can find something I took pics of the power plant from cobia dr. its doable.

Sounds like tomorrow is a busy one for you, with work & beyond. Hope the weather holds for you. (It's very, very muggy in my area)

its a four hour route. nothing to hard. I always move as fast as I can. I eye things as im reading then comeback and take pics or as im walking take them. the side view of the apartments is such a case and the front view is when I was getting a missed read. the cement plant is at the end of the route. I took the plant from entering it and when I was about to leave, I didn't want to spend all day in their. oh there was plenty of things talking to me. in the back ground of the trucks you will see the edge of what looks like a lift its for concrete forms , I think. I wanted to hit that up and the service bays and other things.

Because of everything at the cement plant, there must have been quite a few scenes you'd want to photograph!

From the 2 pictures, there was a sense of space - area - about the place

to bad the old theatre is gone which would have been facing this and also the water tower just east of the property that was part of the plant.

first off this old cement plant that is almost as far back as ww2, it was built in the early 50's by a ww2 veteran. the truck is an old international, I don't know the date of manufacture.the mixers and the plant all are telling me please use us.View attachment 7080 View attachment 7081 View attachment 7082

I might be wrong but I thought this one needed the curves bent just a touch to make the towers pop.

I told you I might be wrong but it looks good on my desk top. LOL, Being I was at my last assignment a mixer operator, I needed a good shot of a plant from somewhere.
