This is the Silk Road Bridge in Bennington, VT.
Lemme post a couple windmills for ya.
Apparently Vermont has a permanent population of only around 500k folks.

oh, something I actually know the answer to on kartpulse!!!
It was to protect the bridge deck. Pooling water, snow, etc would deteriorate the wooden bridge deck, so they started building roofs over top. Yes, the answer really is that simple.

Aha! What’s odd is how few there are. Which is probably a good thing considering how big our vehicles have gotten.
This one is so famous it has its own web cam:
The train trestle prominently featured in all the videos here has earned a reputation for its unrelenting enforcement of the laws of physics.

I’ll post some pictures from South Carolina. It’s a coastal state that is just around where the nice weather begins. It has lovely beaches and looks nothing like California (which is usually what you think of when you think of USA beaches).
Lots of tidal marshes and unreal sunsets, etc.
Had a girlfriend in Savanna Georgia when I was young and I still remember messing around in the ever changing tidal estuaries that protect the main land from the ocean. Basically many small islands. At the time I said to myself that if ever there was a place to be broke, it was there… we pulled crabs and shrimp out of the water with great ease. You’d see dolphins etc. magical. All from the back of a Boston whaler or a dock if boatless. Also, it seems like the inlets are basically one giant oyster bed.
Palm trees incoming! (But first I must go racing at NJMP).

Aha! More bridges. Lovely thank you!
A book I have not read…
The story of Robert Kincaid, a free-spirited photographer in search of Iowa’s hauntingly beautiful covered bridges, and Francesca Johnson, a farm wife in search of the fulfillment of a girlhood dream, The Bridges of Madison County gives voice to the longings of men and women everywhere, and serves to show us what it is …
So basically bridge pr0n. Mebbe I give it a go.

@Stamatis125, we went someplace north this weekend - the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Spectacular scenery but definitely different from the eastern U.S. There are beaches, but Lake Superior is c o l d.
You have to cross the Mackinac Bridge (roughly 5 miles long, longest bridge of its type in the Western Hemisphere) to get to the Upper Peninsula from the Lower Peninsula (where most of the people are).
Those who live in the Upper Peninsula refer to those who live in the Lower Peninsula as trolls - they live below/under the bridge.
So ends the lesson on Michigan geography that has nothing to do with karting! All that and I live in northern Ohio!

I’ve seen videos of people surfing on Lake Michigan. I gotta believe there are some crazy Yoopers who will surf Lake Superior too.
Anywhere that has enough fetch can generate waves!
There’s a fella who does a great show called wierd waves that gets right to the heart of it all…

Lake Superior definitely has the fetch if the wind is from the right direction… when we were there it was from the north so the fetch is ~160 miles. A 15 kt wind with gusts to 31 knots got us waves from 4-8 feet. Canada is a long way away across the big lake.
