Digital Log from Photo Logs
Log Dates: 12/9/12 - 12/12/14
After years of standing on the highway shoulders and logging down hitchhiker inscriptions by hand in pen in a logbook and then transferring them to digital form, I have since chosen to take digital photos of the graffiti and then reading them later and digitally logging them. While I may miss a few of the more faded or etched messages or those photos i took which are out-of-focus or too shaded or bright, the graffiti are now displayed here visually and documented in the hands of the thumbers (pun intended) who pawed them.

(AP) -- A 47-year-old Montana man will have to spend at least eight years in prison for the hit-and-run accident that killed a longtime teacher at Pershing County High School in December. David Lillie of West Yellowstone was sentenced in Churchill County District Court Tuesday to eight to 20 years and ordered to pay nearly $3,000 in fines for the death of 56-year-old Mary Ryan of Lovelock. Investigators say Lillie was under the influence of drugs when he caused the crash on Interstate 80 about 30 miles east of Fernley. Trooper Chuck Allen says both drivers were traveling east when Lillie's Ford Windstar clipped the rear of the Ryan's Toyota Tercel, sending her car rolling into the median. He says Lillie tried to flee the scene, but was arrested a half-mile away. http://www.kolotv.com/home/headlines/8-20_Years_for_MT_Man_in_NV_Teachers_Fatal_Crash_150767355.html ******************************************** I-80W, Winnemucca, NV at Exit 176 on-ramp: Everyone’s The Guru if You only know How to listen Mike Leonard July 30, 1990 To San Francis(c)o 6-29 Old man 2000 Reno + Jake Austin Tex To Mt Shasta Cal Going to the 84 Gathering Hill Billy Boston Ky To Reno NV Kordon To LV Memorial Day 1992 ******************************************** I-80W, Winnemucca, NV, Exit 173 (been here before, see earlier messages, from 9/2/2007) Mike Leonard Aug 8, 1990 I must have been here forever Again I must ask what was real_______ ******************************************** I-80E, Winnemucca @ US 95 Split, exit 176: (been here before, see earlier messages, from 9/2/2007) Smiles 8.1.05 East coast bound Yay!
