Route 10 ~ Silvercreek to Lill Burn Valley

Beginning where I last stopped on Route 10, Jeogeot which I blogged here, I crossed this bridge which was not nearly as long as I expected. I approached the bridge in Silvercreek and walked off it in Aberhart.

There are some very noisy gulls around the bridge which weren’t nearly as challenging as the security orbs while I was snapping photos.

Not much further on is this small bridge over a dry gully in Cambrian.

Trees and shrubs are very sparse along this stretch of road. There is Linden foliage mixed with resident purchased trees and shrubs a little ways off the road shoulder.  I didn’t investigate as the first bridge took much longer to photograph than I anticipated.

In Sien Lok I saw a bench by Garden Mole. The description promises (naughty poses!).

On the other side of the road, close by is a guard rail.

In Dalhousie the road paving changes.

I continued on through Crowfoot and arrived at the Route 9/10 Intersection Rez Zone in Quenloo.  There was an avatar standing by the side of the road, perhaps waiting for a passing POD.

There are trees, bushes and flowers near the intersection. The crossing beacons are by Garden Mole. The large tree is an 11 Li sculpt also by Garden Mole. These trees are constantly moving which is very noticeable  from quite a distance away.

Across the intersection, continuing Route 10 in Deltide, the paving changes again.

There’s another rez zone in Hangflame Ridge. Next, in Quiet Mile, the name of the road changes to Protected Land, Quiet Mile, then back to Route 10 in Blue Hound.

Route 10 continues through Badly Moor, Trumbull, Auriga, Wollendilly and Lill Burn Valley. (I especially like the names Badly Moor and Wollendilly.)

What stood out for me on this stretch or road was the very sharp edged terrain on the shoulder. This photo was snapped at the rez zone in Trumbull.

I ended this part of my journey in Lill Burn Valley at a bridge by Mighty Mole.  It’s possible that by riding a POD through the area you might learn info and history in local text that is offered on many POD tours.

These photos were taken on September 12, 2017.

Gaeta 5 ~ Inner Ring

Here are some photos of my visit to part of the inner ring on Gaeta V the last week in May. This will be my only post about the mainland in June, what with other areas I want to attend to.  I started at the Yavascript pod station on foot, taking a right. Pods for this route leave at quarter after and before the hour.

Close by is the cottage shown in the photo above; it looks great from the road.  I kept my draw distance low for this trip, but even so there appears to be less foliage along this road than other inhabited areas in SL. Usually I refer to any place on the continents as “mainland” but according to this map (from 2009) Sansara is called either “The Mainland” or “The Old Continent”. You can see Gaeta V in the upper right, planned as a group of five island continents sharing versions of the name Gaeta. I showed photos of Gaeta 1 last week in the post just before this. There are areas of unfinished roadwork.I looked at a work-in-progress personal Tardis.I haven’t explored inside Castle Benthem, built in 2008, yet. The land descriptions states that the club is open to the public and the sky ballroom is for group members only.Cafe Lachman in Nemmers is a communal area for the residents of Nemmers.I had liked the minimalist look of this area and on closer inspection saw that it is the “Second Life Art Guild”. It’s less than four months old and the doors were locked. On the road nearby, I took another right.There are the usual shops, lots of gas stations and homes with banlines.  I don’t recall every seeing this much road construction on a continent.Solved: The Mystery of the location of Bad Coffee #2. I hadn’t been able to recall where I’d seen it when I wrote my post about Bad Coffee #1 and #3 last September. It wasn’t listed in the picks of the owner at all and according to the SLurl, I’m guessing an offer to purchase the place might be welcome.

It does exist, for those who have cast aspersions on either my veracity or my sanity! (Sorry, I’m making time for some Victorian roleplay again.)

The grass is quite short on this part of the island and it’s more sandy.Further on, the sand has taken over. There’s a lot of land for sale or rent in this area.

I walked and flew to another fork in the road on Route 7 in Goldbach and took a right.Soon I saw the welcome sight of one of my favorite places, the Best Coffee Shop and Travel Agency.  There’s seating outdoors and in, with an art collection upstairs. Just inside the door is a clickable photo with a frequently changing landmark for travelers. There’s a wandering duck in the pretty garden in back of the building.  I’ve popped into this place many times in the last few months, not realizing it was on Gaeta 5.

Running out of time, I flew more quickly until I ended this trip at another fork in the road in Pucetta.
