DENVER! It’s time. SO excited to introduce a new walking route in time for Spring, ready to explore and love: the DENVER ORBITAL TRAIL (DOT for short!). It’s in the name - an epic 177-mile, 28-segment circle around the region! See more and get walking at DenverOrbital.org.

I did it! Dunnet Head, the northern point of mainland Scotland, bringing to a close a fantastic three month adventure, walking the cardinal points of the country. A fascinating journey of 999.68 miles. 😊

Have you ever wanted to see Sutro Tower up close? Now you can! I'm releasing a very high quality model of the tower that you can easily fly through on your own, thanks to very cool developments in Gaussian splatting 🧵...

it turns out congestion pricing is actually quite good for many businesses because saving hours of wasted labor and gas stuck in traffic is far more valuable than the $9 charge

Streetsblog's @GershKuntzman was there as the congestion pricing cameras turned on at 12:00:01 a.m. and interviewed the FIRST driver to pay the toll. @WCBSTV's @MKramerTV should take note of what this driver had to say:

these are our top tracks of the year 😍
A back-of-train view on Empire Builder. Double set of tracks curve right into the distance. A lake borders on the right and lush greenery towers on the left.

Scenic view from a Coach Class window seat on Amtrak Cascades. Tracks run right alongside the train, followed by a calm lake with water that spans off into the distance. Low, rolling clouds cover the sky.

Window view of a winter wonderland scene on California Zephyr. We see snow-covered tracks, a gentle stream, a white ground and snow-dusted green trees.
