Gateway to the Gold Coast: Typherus Pass
Replies
@philforhockey51, @raynev1, @Compdude787, @takemethere, @gviper, @ulisse, @Urban Constanta: Thank you for the comments!
@kschmidt: Thanks! I didn't focus on plopping farms back then. As you said, it was quite laborious and creating sprawling farmland definitely wasn't my strong suite (it still isn't :P). I agree with the airport being a tad small - this was one of the first times that I utilized the AC prefab airport and I really wanted to watch it upgrade as the city grew.
From the Valley to the Sea
Taking a small break from the historical tour, we stop at the gateway between the Sylon Valley and the Gold Coast: the Titan Mountains.
1. Just a few km up from the small mountain town of Onepa, the valley gets narrower. A tiny village marks the foothill of the looming Typherus Peak.
2. This small gas station marks the beginning of the ascent into the mountains. Travelers are advised to refuel here before proceeding into the mountains, despite the relatively short trip.
3. Typherus Pass winds alongside its namesake mountain. Drifters love this section but there have been more than a few shares of fatalities. Perhaps it's time to install some guardrails along the curves?
4. Those looking for a little break stop at this overlook midway up.
5. Looking back downhill can be quite the treat, especially during the fall months. The power pylons however dampen the viewing experience somewhat.
6. Yet another fork in the road.
7. Those wanting to continue straight have a lot of work cut out for them...
8. Making the turn leads to civilization once again!
9. Those that decide to make a right turn again will get another adventure.
10. A local recycling center with a couple of businesses occupies the canyon between the two roads.
11. Another small town further up the highway.
12. As the mountains open up, farms can once again be seen.
13. An overview shot.
14.
The southern coast is now in sight!
