Route 2 ~ Buff Pier to Satellite Market

Tags

Bloomin Mole, Buff Pier, Eggar Rez Zone, Garden Mole, Route 2

It’s been almost three and a half months since I last did a post on mainland infrastructure. I’ve been travelling the length of Route 2; it looks like there will be one more post after this one, to finish this route. I ended my last post at Buff Pier.

I stepped off the pier and onto the road, and snapped the above photo to the left. It shows the paving, sign, safety barrier, lights, and bushes. (This series is about infrastructure and I had to tear myself away from investigating a nearby spacecraft.)

Very soon, I arrived in Eggar.

The Eggar Rez Zone is on the left side of the road, in the direction I’m going. I’m impressed with how most of the current parcel owners have used foliage that complements and blends in with what the Moles have planted so very long ago.

Still in Eggar, there’s a safety rail on the left, and further ahead are stone barriers on the sides.

Stone bridge by Garden Mole.

Eggar is quite a long region on this stretch of road. In Tawny, a Bloomin Crate and a bucket of apples have been left by Bloomin Mole on the right side of the road.

Further on, is this bridge. Shortly after, I entered the Stout region.

There’s interesting infrastructure if you keep straight ahead on the road, but I took a sharp right here, for the purpose of staying on Route 2. There’s a stone bench by Bloomin Mole in this small, roadside park.

A little further on are 1 Li dogwood trees by Eric Linden. Anyone can take a copy. (These are also in the inventory library.)

I walked through Ear and into Sallow. There continued to be a variety of trees along the sides of the road.

To remain on Route 2, I took another right, here in Sallow.

Close by you’ll find the Sallow Picnic Spot Rez Zone. “You can Rez your sandwiches here as long as you eat them within 5 minutes!” There is a bottle by Silent Mole that may be over ten years old.

I kept going straight ahead; the road narrows to one lane.

There are a couple of lone telegraph poles on the left side of the road. I took the above snapshot in Satellite, looking back the way I’d come.

A layby wood bench and metal bin by Garden Mole on the left side of the road.

Very soon I arrived at the Satellite Market Rez Zone where I’m ending this journey for today. We are close to the end of Route 2 but there will be things to photograph at the market.

Route 2 ~ Fillip to Buff Pier

Tags

Buff Pier, Fillip, Ginsberg, Heterocera, Route 2, The Atoll

When we left off looking at Route 2 infrastructure here, we were in Fillip. I didn’t seem to cover a lot of road on this trip but there was a lot to photograph. There are builds on both sides of almost the whole length of Route 2 that I traveled; where there is not, there are plenty of trees, bushes, flowers and road signs.

After Fillip, there were one or two steps in Brindle and then I was in Ranunculus. I turned back to snap this photo of the median with alternating street lights by Alberto Linden and palm trees by Eric Linden.

In Seraphim the paving changes and the median ends with a speed bump, foliage and lamps.

In Ginsberg, there’s a Victorian Letter Box set into a retaining wall by Garden Mole. Right now there are numerous, some very large, parcels for sale on the mainland. Unlike in the fairly recent past, there are also many new builds; the roadside in this and other areas I’ve noticed recently are filling in.

Pictured above is a crosswalk in Ginsberg.

In previous posts in this series, I’ve focused on the infrastructure and avoided many of the current buildings in the background but it wasn’t really possible on this trip. Shown above is the Ginsberg Rez Zone.

After a brief walk through Burnott, the paving changes again in Quaker.

Just before the Valerian Rez Zone, there’s a guard rail on the left side of the  road.

The Valerian Rez Zone has the usual bench, trash bin and in addition, a barrel.

Soon I arrived at an intersection with benches and a tree in the middle. The road to the right soon becomes unpaved, leading through some rough terrain among random buildings. I kept going straight ahead on Route 2.

This bridge is in Buff.

Right after the bridge, there’s a retaining wall on the left side of the road.

There is an opening in the retaining wall with steps leading down to Buff Pier.

There are benches on the pier, which stretches out on both sides of the picnic area.

These are plenty of photos so I will continue my travel another day.

Route 2 ~ Consular to Fillip

Heterocera, Route 2, The Atoll

It was two months ago today that I last posted in my virtual infrastructure series; I ended then in Consular on Route 2 on the Atoll. Continuing on pixel feet, I focused my attention mostly on the road paving, trees and other foliage, rez zones and signs. This is as it was in early May, 2018.

The sea was on the left, rolling hills on the right and the road was gently curving left and right.

I walked through the regions of Huckleberry, Mournful and Hummingbird.

The Hummingbird Rez Zone is a long, narrow strip on the left side of the road in the direction I was walking.

I walked through the regions of Pandorus and Hydrangea. In Hydrangea, the Bridge Road shown on the right above, branches off into a higher road.

Looking back at Bridge Road.

I traveled through the regions of Pandorus, Yucca and Ambrosia. Very soon after entering Yucca the road changed to wooden planks with posts for guard rails on the left. The direction of the planks changed several times.

The Ambrosia Rez Zone is shown in the above photo.

Just a little further on the road became wider again on the right, with wooden guard posts and the old shed by Bloomin Mole.

In time, I arrived at a corner on the coast, the Fillip Rez Zone. On the left of the photo above, a long dock leads down to the sea.

A Pod route is located here; the pod morphs into a boat and sails to the right, which seems the best way to go by sea. It is tricky to rez a small boat and banlines are horrific on both sides of the route to the right. I don’t know how it is to sail to the left.

But we are focusing on the infrastructure of Route 2 and will continue the trip another day, on the road shown in the right of the above photo.

Route 2 ~ Emmelia to Manduca

Heterocera, mainland, Route 2

Continuing my Route 2 journey on Heterocera Atoll near where I left off here, I begin again where the road makes a sharp turn to the left in Emmelia.

Not to much further the Jota Rezzing Area is found on the left of the road.

There are many ferns and shrubs along the road as well as a few barrels and old telegraph poles by Garden Mole. Through Algira there seems to be a lot of ranching and farming going on.

There’s a rest stop on the right in Algira.

A little further on the road begins to hug the coastline more closely. The above photo was taken in Togata.

Bridge in Togata.

The road changes a little further on.

There’s a rez zone in Togata. Pods stop here.

In the photo above, you can see a bench to the right. Perhaps to ponder whether you want to enter the tunnel or not.

The road paving changes again. On the left of the road, more signs warn of deep water.

This is what it looked like above the tunnel.

Entering the tunnel, I found myself in Moma. There were huge spiders. I soon found my self in Tiger when I exited.

There were several lights and a bench along the road.

The wood plank road curves around the land, still in Tiger.

There’s a guardrail made by Bloomin Mole and set up by Garden Mole on the right. Very briefly, I took a few steps in Congrua.

A few steps further on, in Manduca, there’s a rez zone. This shot is looking back the way I just walked.

Until next time.

Route 2 ~ Epione to Emmelia, Heterocera

Heterocera, Linden Department of Public Works, Route 2, The Atoll

Having finished a series of posts focused on the virtual infrastructure of Route 10 in Jeogeot about a month ago, I am resuming on Route 2 in Epione on Heterocera.

I am beginning where Route 2 meets Mock Heather Road. These photos were taken about a month ago so I am checking the route again to make sure that no huge craters or other disasters have happened to make the area unrecognizable.

Moving from Epione to Siona, I discover that the wonderful land that was for sale last month has been sold but there is a security orb.

That is wonderful Drongolia shown in the background.

The bridge looks like this on the road.

Entering Gnoma, I couldn’t help but notice the terrible proliferation of sage grass and disrepair.

I walked through Ridens, Viciae, Albulata and Brithys. The road had fewer sage bushes in some stretches.

I called in map-reading backup here in Brithys where there is a road to the left. (Route 2 veers sharply to the left a little further on.)

A few steps further straight ahead we entered Emmelia with the Emelia Rez Zone on the left.

And to confirm we were going in the right direction.

You can buy the Linden Department of Public Works Manhole Cover for L$0.

A little further on, still in Emmelia, is a bridge.

The bridge from the side.

Many times there are interesting things to see under the LDPW bridges.

Including under water.

It’s just after this bridge that Route 2 turns sharply to the left.
