Eesh. No comments?

 

I should have the UDI update up by this weekend, if not sooner. Once again, sorry for the lack of updates.

I'm so sorry about the terrible fire.

[Superchan 23]

[dudyconstructor 46]

Yay, finally some comments.

 

Here is a special Christmas update describing the donations being sent from Long Beach Island to Rancho Cucamonga following the horrible fire.

All of the donations were sent to Long Beach Island City Hall on BR 102. They loaded it all into a box truck driven by local Gustav Knifenfork. Unfortunately for Gustav, a snowstorm the night before would make things difficult. He went on his way headed south on BR 102.

 

He then turned off Waterway Drive onto I-302 and BR 17. He would stay on this road for the next 110 miles.

As he drove the truck into the higher elevations, the snow became more imminent.

He passed over I-2. I-302 ends here and BR 17 continues.

He crosses the border into Hummelsville.

In Hummelsville, the snow became even worse and Gustav had to drive extremely slow up the many hills.

He came to the intersection with a sign that mistakenly posts BR 4 as a toll road when it isn't (at least not at this point).

I'll stop there for now. More from the excellent adventure on BR 17 will come soon. Please comment.

Wow. Still no comments? That's disappointing...

 

Gustav slowly trudged along BR 17 in the box truck.

Gustav wondered, Where are the plows? Cars are sliding all over the place and nobody wants to clean it up!

He passed by Hummelsville Elementary. School was obviously out, and kids were wandering through town enjoying the snow.

He later passed by High Point Regional High School, where some kids were playing some snow football.

He passed by the main intersection in town, Main St. To the right is the town CBD.

He passed by the intersection with BR 17a. 17a takes a more mountainous route through very small towns such as Suffern. If not for the snow, Gustav would have taken 17a because it would have been more direct and faster. Instead, he decided to stay on the main road. (I will cover 17a in another update.)

The road was completely invisible here, so Gustav had to rely on the lightpoles in the middle of the road.

He slowly trudges on into Twin Peaks, knowing that his trip to Rancho Cucamonga would surely turn into an overnight one.

 

Twin Peaks is next. Please comment.

Nice, very nice! I think you have a very good story going on, I'd like to see it evolve!

Keep it up!

Thanks for the comment jasperdeman.nl.

 

Just a little warning to all of the followers of this CJ: As this CJ approaches its 1-year anniversary (1/25/05), some of the pix in pages 1 and 2 will probably get eaten up by the server. I will not completely replace the pics: instead, I will probably put one wide current shot and maybe a few close-ups. Probably the UDI section in the beginning will not be replaced unless I can find them on my hard drive. Thanks for understanding, and please keep commenting. It lets me know that this CJ is being watched and appreciated.

Binsur enters 2005!

 

Geez. Still no comments? I'm getting really disappointed...

 

Twin Peaks should come this weekend.

How could I have missed two updates in a row?? Binsur is on my Top 5 list of favorite CJ's! The highway signs are excellent; I always look forward to travel tours with those little extras added. Keep it up!

hey man don't be disapppointed by the lack of comments. it always happen because there are too many post in the forums and many people might overlooked it. well i must say you did well, i read your CJ from page 1 and i think your city building technique has definately been much better now. Happy new yr Binsur!

[Mdz1001 0]

Thanks oroen and savio.

liaowei: It's actually faster then you think, partly because I run Windows 2000 instead of XP.

I don't have much time, so here is a pic of the next city, Twin Peaks.

[Cjah 15]

I think I'm a first time poster...While I long time reader watcher or whatever you like to call me...

Anyway I've been reading this a long time and i must say Binsur looks great in 2005!

I can't wait till twin peaks!!

Good variety in terrain, mdz1001. You terraform as you expand, right?

[comdude21 6]

Great CJ. Being from NJ, I can recognize all of those names from around the state that you've put in there. At first I thouhgt you might really be re-creating NJ. So I assume you're from NJ, right?

[Mdz1001 0]

Cjah: Thanks for the comment.

hk5: Yes, I do terraform as I go. That's why it's a bit random.

comdude21: Yes, I do live in NJ, but I am kinda close to the NY border (hence, the towns of Hancock and Suffern.

 

Unfortunately, RLS has hit me, as well as tons of homework and midterms. I will get an update up next week.

Not to worry - Imageshack will reset the 1-year timer every time someone views them.

That aside, I've been following this CJ, and a great job indeed. The UDI updates make a nice touch to the story.

your city is awesome and i love the snow, its picture perfect from the top.

[ramvid01 0]

i really love your journal and your city, but i was wondering if the the underground highway was a mod or not?

[ramvid01 0]

i really love your journal and your cities/region, but i was wondering if the the underground highway was a mod or not?

[Mdz1001 0]

Ooh. Lotsa comments.

 

Shadow_Assasin: Yes, but the first two pages are hosted on ST's server. That is why I said that. And thanks for the comment.

texanpride786: Thanks for the comment.

ramvid01: The underground highway itself is not a mod. However, the lot I use to create the holes is. Find smoncrie's Hole Digging Lots on the STEX. (And please try not to double post.)

 

And onward to:

This is a bonus peak of Skyline Drive, which is the only road that allows access to the lavish apartments on top of the Twin Peaks. Now on to the story.

Once crossing into Twin Peaks, Gustav had to drive through the Katzman Tunnel. This tunnel goes through the Twin Peaks and leads directly into the main city. It is currently the longest tunnel in Binsur and the only one on BR 17.

Once at the end of the tunnel, Gustav hit an immediate intersection with CR 191 (Ratzer Road). At the very bottom left corner is the beginning of Skyline Drive.

Twin Peaks is known as a center for high-tech industry. Once all of the old iron mills went out of business, these businesses moved in. It is kinda like the Silicon Valley of Binsur.

(Remember old BR 23 in Seacrest? It's back...) Gustav had to swerve around a small fender-bender at the intersection with Communipaw Avenue. This marks the end of BR 23, a long east-west road that heads through the farming town of Stockton all the way to Seacrest.

That's all for Twin Peaks. Summit Twp is next, and may come Monday if I have a snow day. 18 inches baby!  Please comment.

ooooo that looks really nice, and i didnt realize that i duoble post, mustve been cuz the site was slow lol.

[Cjah 15]

This looks great.I love the use of highways and tunnels.I myself am a huge fan of tunnels.

I like how there was also a lot of high tech.Anyway I can't wait for more....

[Chappington 131]

That's a nice way to use the snow easter egg. Keep up the good work!

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

This is defintley a unique CJ, very well put together though.

[Mdz1001 0]

Sorry guys, but there's no update this week. RLS and the Super Bowl have gotten in the way. Thanks for the comments ramvid01, Cjah, Splime, and newyorkrunaway1. O yeah, Binsur has hit its 1-year anniversary!!!

go eagles...

[comdude21 6]

Good job on the CJ. I like all those highway signs a lot, that's something not many CJs have. Have any regional pictures?

[MrVegetable 2]

Looks great with the snow and all. Doesn't it get annoying if you can't see the roads though, especially if there are no buildings nearby?

[Darmok 34]

Hi MDZ,

It's a very good looking CJ you have here!
I particularly like Seacrest, Deepwater (the little bridge on the 101) and the snowy part, Twin Peaks reminds me of home.

Already one year! Happy Birthday to Bisur

As for the Eagles I'm sorry they lost, was a good game tough!

Keep up the good work
