1/14/24 Station 5 El Paso Texas

last fire station for me in El Paso. This one is just south of the I-10 where not only does I 10 come through, but there are quite a few manufacturing and refining facilities And the railroad goes through here. The station is equipped for hazmat response.

last flag in El Paso. I had many flavors of Dallas Cowboys flags to choose from today but I decided to go with this one which is only sort of a Dallas Cowboys flag. It’s from the memorial celebration when Texas Stadium was closed down.

Your Wordle clue for today is DOING

Illustrate this in any way you see fit — but we might be most impressed with an action shot (not a video) of someone DOING something that celebrates the values lived by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. And since you can’t bring something from home, this can’t be YOU.

We are looking for photos that make us smile, laugh out loud, or nod our heads with artistic appreciation. If we add them to our lists of “places to visit” because of your photo, that’s a win!

Be safe in the icky weather today.

Wordle is giving us some really stinky difficult to illustrate words. So for the 13th of January, you may use the Wordle word:

HEARD

or the alternate word

PIANO

Choose one, post only one photo, and post here OR at the 2024 Photo Scavenger Hunt link.

All other rules apply.

[Kbikeva]

All, if you’re pulling your hair out over posting here, please feel free to post in the Strava group instead. (but choose one or the other)

Note: if your strava name and forum name are significantly different, you might want to shoot one of us a quick note to let us know that you are in fact the same person. Otherwise, your alterego may get your photo credits!

1/12/24 Route

playing along for fun, not in the competition.

1/12 24 ConsularRider – I’m so glad you posted that particular shot. Jim Avila is a guy who lives in Falls Church and singlehandedly keeps that area from there to the far side of the bridge over Rt. 29 picked up, including the area under the bridge.

PLUS, the fact that you’re showcasing a Surly there makes this extra special. I ride a Surly Straggler and miss it SO MUCH when I’m down here in Texas.

Okay, when I try it with the phone, I get options. What a pain the rear to have to jump through all these hoops. Thanks for trying to make it easier.

[Kbikeva]

I skipped that too – yes, I click on the camera on the Source line, and then it goes straight to my google drive to find the photo. Maybe I should use my phone?
