Trash is trash is trash...right?

Mono Lake overlook on Hwy 395 in Ca.

(Not my photo though I’ve been here many times. http://www.macdphotographs.com/ amazing work.)

YOUR RIGHT, OUTSTANDING PHOTO ALBUM. I'm a sucker for vintage RR lines, track age, grades, etc.

LOCATION does play a big part. Stickers on a guardrail in Cali is definitely art. Stickers on a guardrail in south Louisiana would be considered a repair...

Heck, in Minnesota those stickers would be called rust proofing.

OH! And shoe trees! We haven't weighed in on them. Though I can never decide if they are an eyesore or interesting, they are a landmark of sorts, or a way point...something to point out to the kids on road trips. People are devastated when they are cut down. A large one on HWY 50 was taken down by a n'er do well individual or gang, the outcry was enormous, for both the tree itself and the tradition. The one on Hwy 395 N of the NV state line was taken out by Cal Trans I believe.
