http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html A picture site documenting roads in and around Colorado Springs, CO, USA en-us http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html ">Just a reminder of what's to come around here. This was taken mid-February 2006 just after a heavy snowstorm. All I remember was that it was DAMN COLD that day. This is the shot of Pikes Peak you see while heading west on US 24 out of the city. Ryan Wanner 2006-09-04 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html ">When crews needed to expand the water main along south Tejon Street in Colorado Springs, the easiest way was to place the main on the road. Ryan Wanner 2006-09-02 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html ">Hacking and slashing their way to a (very)high-end enclave of homes, developers didn't care too much about the environment here. Ryan Wanner 2006-09-01 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html ">I have never seen this type of cones before in my life. I'm wondering if Colorado has so many construction projects going on that crews are having a cone shortage and are having to improvise... Ryan Wanner 2006-08-31 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html ">This segment of stupidity brought to you by Gart Sports, whose name recently was retired in a merger. They had to throw away their signs somehow, and I guess disassembling them was out of the question. Ryan Wanner 2006-08-30 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html "> Aaahhh, redhead on a hog with a Taz strapped to the back seat in a way that Taz's tongue is sticking out and waving at you as she goes by. Does it really get any better than that? Ryan Wanner 2006-08-29 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html "> I call this one Alphabet Soup VMS. Ryan Wanner 2006-08-28 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html Nonstandard sign goodness found entering Cripple Creek, CO while headed northbound on SH 67. Ryan Wanner 2006-08-28 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html Complete with an old pointing finger, this "sign" leads you to fabulous downtown Victor, CO. Ryan Wanner 2006-08-26 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html When mutants mate with road signs, you get something quite similar to this. He should have a doctor check out that bend. Looks painful. Ryan Wanner 2006-08-24 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html Welcome to Colorado Springs, where we place our welcome signs so low people can skid out on it! This is seen on the US 85/Nevada Avenue entrance to the city. Ryan Wanner 2006-08-24 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html Older gore point sign spotted on the southbound offramp to Cimmaron Street from I-25. Look closely, and you can even tell where the bolts holding the new white text and borders are. And it looks like this was exit 60 before mile-based numbering happened here. Ryan Wanner 2006-08-23 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html AIEEEE! The dreaded Transport Lite(TM Comrade Yamamoto), aka Clearview, aka CrapTastic, has infiltrated Colorado Springs. All new street signs are going up with the dreaded font. Ugh. Ryan Wanner 2006-08-22 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html Okay, how many people do you think actually know what the CRS number means? Wouldn't it be easier to say "It's against the law"? Ryan Wanner 2006-08-21 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html Here's a rarer and rarer sight: the Sinclair Dinosaurs. This is at a Sinclair station (natch) at the interchange of US 24 and Bus US 24 just east of Manitou Springs. Ryan Wanner 2006-08-20 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html Remember kids, when backing up, make sure there's not someone else backing up at the same time. This clustered this parking lot for almost 45 minutes for no real discernable reason. Ryan Wanner 2006-08-19 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html Smile! You're on Candid Camera! This lone officer was relaying car types and speeds to about 8 different motorcycle cops hiding behind the wall. This is a norm in COS, and the drivers all complain about it. Maybe if they weren't doing 70 in a 55... Ryan Wanner 2006-08-18 http://r-dub.us/pod/index.html With a backlog of random pics, I've decided to roll out a pic of the day site. There's 14 pics to get you started here, so enjoy. I'll see you tomorrow!. Ryan Wanner 2006-08-17
