The shot of the early 21st century single occupant transportation device is awesome! Great shots as always. Did you have to race the truck to get the shots?

No, it was going bout 5mph and they would stop at every light even if it was green if they thought there was a chance that the whole caravan would not make it throught. It was really easy to get them all.

Actually, that's a Ford Escape. And it IS just like Ford owner to get in the middle of a perfectly good picture and ruin it!


The thought also crossed my mind, when looking at picture #2, how much it would suck if they had mis-measured things before going under the railroad overpass!

Hey, I drive a ford... For now. Can't wait to get rid of it!

I am guessing that Kewit has logistics people who's only job is to tripple check clearence.

No doubt about that! There's no way in the world they were going to mess that up.


Did they make almost a parade of it - rolling that thing right down 13th Street, from the Old to the New? Or was it just business as usual?



Great pics by the way!

3 vehicles. Truck, 18 Wheeler, Truck. It wasn't a big deal because they were taking it to an "undesclosed location" I stopped following at Dodge street so I am not even sure where they went.

I like how it almost looks like the statue is giving one last cheer for Rosenblatt.
