My wife thought this albino american alligator looked like white chocolate, but I really don't think she would want a bite of this guy. He looks pretty small in the picture, but is really about 10 feet long in person.
We followed a tractor trailer truck hauling a fire engine on our way back from Florida. Since it was time to fuel up anyways, we pulled into the same truck stop so I could take a few photos. The engine was E-31 from the Fort Bragg (Army) Fire Department in Fort Bragg, NC. The truck was enroute back to Fort Bragg from getting refurbished at the Emergency One (E-One) plant in Ocala, FL.
Close to Green Cove Springs, Florida is a old sea port that is used to repair old boats and ships. Here are a couple of the ships that were at dock on the day that I drove down to see the boats. I made this photo into a cartoon for effect, since the old ships were a little rough looking.
This is the Clay Theatre in Green Cove Springs, Fl. The last time that I visited this theatre was when Forest Gump was playing. The theatre is now for sale for 1.5 million.
One of Southern West Virginia's best hotdog joints is located just outside of the entrance to Chief Logan State Park in Logan, WV. It's hotdog's are very close to those of Morrison's Hotdogs in Stollings, WV.
This bus on the rocks is a Fayette County landmark that has drawn the attention of many passerby's. A fishing camp of a local resident, the bus is an actual greyhound bus that was put on a rock in the river over 50 years ago.

Thurmond Train Bridge located near the Thurmond Rail Depot in Thurmond, WV. There is actually a automobile bridge that runs parallel to this bridge if you look to the left of the train bridge.
We visited the Thurmond Raildroad Depot this weekend while in Fayette County. It was like stepping back into history. It's a beautiful drive with plenty of waterfalls and historic scenery.
