Summertime! 🏖️ And the livin' is easy. Or so we will pretend, for a few minutes spent in the willderness in the swimming hole. And my mind drifts to afternoons at the Potholers in the heat which will certainly return once the black flies go into the hiding.

US Highway System

US Highway System

 
You could think that US Highway System is an obsolete with the Interstate System. But especially in the Midwest and the South, a lot of the roads are designated US Highways rather then state highways.
 
Not that there is much of a difference, many US Highways are two-lanes at-grade and are maintained by state DOTs. In recent decades, funding is not based on US Highway designation but another set of designations on whether or not a road is an arterial highway. California and New York have a notable lack of US Highways.

 

West Sand Lake Gravel Mine

I was looking east from Wolf Hill noticing a bunch of denuded land. I thought it was a farm field but I think it's the West Sand Lake Gravel Mine.

Another fun little video from the Gas Up a few weeks back.
