I didn't intend to take so long to get my second entry together, but I got lost in the woods. There's a lot of trees around here. Today I bring a quick update introducing three of the numerous small towns popping up among the hills south of Lake Garda. Anderson Anderson is a peaceful residential town situated in a valley between two hill ranges. The road (Hwy 50) into the east side of town snakes its way up a cliff face along the first hill range. Heading east out of town, highway 50 leads to the budding metropolis of Washington, population 27. There is no industry in town. Only a few small farms. No sims were [knowingly] harmed in the capturing of these photos. Only missing, perhaps. Washington Washington is a farming town down in the plains closer to the shores of Lake Garda. It is also the location of the first Wawa to be built outside of the United States of America. Wawa is expanding to the nation of Garda because there's no street corners left for them to conquer in the eastern US. This is also the only gas station (and grocery outlet) along Hwy 50 between Anderson and Logan, the next town on our little tour, so they're well on their way to monopolizing another corner of the planet. And they give Mayor free hoagies! Don't mind the void at the top of the image. It's just a glitch in the Matrix. Logan The next town on our list is a little larger. Logan is the current industry and commercial hub of the region. It has great growth potential and attracts residents with it's riverside location. It is likely to become one of the central areas of development in the future. A closer look at the town's oldest neighborhood: South Logan, located just to the south of Logan (bet you never would have guessed that), is technically a separate town. But future development will almost certainly merge the two into a city, so it's included in this entry. South Logan is an interesting blend of rural country living with an urban vibe. This area has attracted several town home developments. That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by! There is much, much more to come in the future.

Entry no.42 - Waterways of Baycole
TakemeThere posted a City Journal entry in Pretoria Metropolitan Area
This entry continues from where I left off last time at Aizen fall's. Here's a couple of wide pano shots to jog your memory in case you forgot where we were on this trip down the Scribosilyn river I spent a lot of time experimenting with mmps and creating different landscapes in the next area. I particularly like how these scenes look up close so as with the last entry the photo are from the closest two zooms. More of the area around the base of Aizen's fall. The first bridge crossing the Scribosilyn river at an angle is Vermont Drive. Crossing Vermont Drive by foot is not recommended, unless your prepare to get soaked from the fall's mist. The Scribosilyn river then meanders under a several bridges the first being the aforementioned Vermont Drive, followed by the twin span of highway 705. Hard to believe but there was a time when I didn't use mmp in developed areas at all. But now meshing together functional urban development with mmp covered area's is definitely one of my favorite thing to do. On the north side of the river is a small city park(Jessibel Park). 7. 8. Further south there are two final bridges. The first is the Energy East oil pipeline and the last bridge to span the river is a rail bridge, carrying the ICR Lakeridge Sub. Three different modes of transit, road, rail & pipeline. ICR Train # 303 is seen going over the bridge. This is a regularly scheduled high priority inter-model train which can sometime be almost a mile long, which is the maximum length of trains allowed to operate within the city limits of Pretoria. 12. A small pumping station for the oil pipeline. 14. 15. After passing the last of these bridges the Scribosilyn river comes to end having reached Cisco Bay. 17. To the west of the river along the north shore of Cisco Bay is Varsity Park, another popular recreational area in Baycole. 19. ICR 303 rumbling through the neighborhood. Closes ups of the park. 22. 23. The shoreline here is a swampy marsh, spent a lot of time working on the land to sea transition here. 25. 26. This angle is probably my favorite 28. 29. And a couple more mosaics to go. 31. The next entry will probably be the final entry from the city of Baycole and will feature the few unexplored areas of the city and plenty of large scale mosaics to show everything the city has to offer.- 21 Comments
