A friend and I drove through the night into the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania and hiked in to the closed SCI Cresson before dawn, then spent most of what was left of it shivering in an empty room, having badly misjudged what damp mountain cold does to a person.

All of it got bulldozed in 2024 for a 6 megawatt solar installation. That's 195 acres for 6 megawatts, from panels manufactured overseas, on land that was producing something before.
The clouds parted to make way for clear reflections of this unique bascule bridge in Mystic, Connecticut.
Republic Rubber is something close to a rite of passage around Youngstown. Explorers have come and gone in that area for years, and just about all of them have put in time here at some point.
You won't find another one of these. On the Prestonsburg Passage Rail Trail in eastern Kentucky, the crossing over Caney Creek runs straight through a school bus: a retired one donated by Floyd County Schools, stripped to its shell and fitted over a timber bridge as a covered span.
