Raton, New Mexico - I took the I-25 Business Route … I discovered in 1900 a steam engine “locomobile” traveled across a mountain pass - very environmental friendly … I also learned 2nd Street was another victim of the Interstate road system - 3 gas stations are history, some quirky attractions (windmill & giant arrow) are visible & lots of motels & eateries once dotted Raton … the vintage movie theater & marquee is still hanging in there … a vintage icehouse has become a bar nowadays - another point of interest … I will return and check out their historic district on another adventure … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabHistorical #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #rabMotel #Motel #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabNewMexico #NewMexico 11.29.22 (at Raton, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CllnOHhuK7z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Newport News, Virginia - the 1930’s “Lion’s Bridge” is actually a dam separating the “Mariner’s Lake” from the “James River” … the bridge leads to the “Mariner’s Museum” and interesting ARTist sculptures … the “Lion’s Bridge Bridge/Dam” is a popular sunset location and the reason I actually discovered this amazing ARTistic architecture zone … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabHistorical #rabScenery #Bridges #BridgesRAB #RunAwayBillFavorite #rabNewportNewsVA #rabVirginia #Virginia Tuesday 10.11.22 (at Lions Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj0KBnjOQnw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
