I have quite a few favorite #TheRoad 🛣️ pictures for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow. This was taken with my iPhone in Laramie, Wyoming in 2019 during a cross country road trip. #Photography #Interstate80 #Wyoming

Truck Inn, Fernley, Nevada (2024). Usually the last thing I see of Fernley on my way back to California…

An old truck sits hoisted up on a couple of tall poles next to Interstate 80 in Fernley, Nevada. On the truck's side, the words "Truck Inn".

A freeway overpass rises up to cross Interstate 80 in the desert; it seems to be aiming at Leppy Pass in the jagged mountain range in the distance.

DIESEL MOTEL CASINO (Fernley, Nevada, 2024).

#photography #RoadsideDistraction #nevada #GreatBasin #Interstate80 #Roadscape

A very large rather dilapidated sign stands next to an ad hoc truck parking area off Interstate 80 in Fernley, Nevada. The top of it reads DIESEL MOTEL CASINO in two lines; the rest is inscrutable (and yellow).

At the overcrossing (San Pablo Avenue, Richmond, California, 2025).

The Interstate 80 freeway crosses over San Pablo Avenue at Roosevelt Avenue in a streak of bright orange and turquoise, and with the letters "HMOND" (from RICHMOND) visible on the overcrossing's side. In the middle of the shot a weathered combined traffic light and street light stands spindly-tall.

The image shows "Harvest," a 1999 public art installation by sculptor Tom Stancliffe located at the Interstate 80 Westbound Rest Area and Welcome Center in Wilton, Iowa. The artwork features ten stainless steel and bronze columns arranged like row crops, topped with forms representing Iowa's agricultural, natural, and cultural heritage—including corn cobs, fauna, and abstract shapes

A family with a couple of dogs walks on the bright white of the Bonneville salt flats at the Interstate 80 rest area near Wendover, Utah. In the background there is a small jagged mountain range.

Is anyone else sad about the Milk Farm sign? The 'k' on the west facing side is almost gone (unlike this file photo)
#Interstate80 #Dixon #googie

The sign for the now closed Milk Farm restaurant visible from I-80 in California in Dixon. It has imagery which references the line, "the cow jumped over the moon," from the old Cat & the Fiddle nursery rhyme.
