(07-21-2009) A better shot of it approaching from the south. The last time, a bus blokced the shot. (07-21-2009) We return (finally) in November, with weather fit for the north of England.

(11-01-2009) One week later I returned to the US 29 interchange. Late afternoon about 4 pm, so limited daylight, but I'll take it. Dismal, rainy conditions prevailed two weeks both before and after.

Perhaps the last time I ever drive the old alignment. (11-26-2009) Looking again east to ramp. No change on this end, just it's now over US 29 on the other. (11-26-2009)
