at first I thought it was the Tappan Zee bridge (just under 5 miles) in NY but then I saw your location. had a classmate in elementary school whose mother drove off the Tappan Zee. don't know if it was an accident

This is His Spot
On the local riding trail, this gator is frequently sun-bathing in this spot and watching the cyclist go by or stop for pictures.

My bike with a typically elaborate Victorian water fountain in Finsbury Square in London. Ornamental confectioner Tom Smith, of Tom Smith & Co, and his brother Walter erected the fountain in 1898 in memory of their mother who passed away that year. Tom Smith is credited with the invention/introduction of the Christmas cracker, which we still have with our Christmas dinner here in the UK over 150 years on. See here for more info: https://londonist.com/2012/12/london...istmas-cracker
Sadly the water fountain is no longer connected so the only water in it is rainwater, but as everyone knows we're not short of that over here

Top picture does not have a bike, bike I took the picture on the same ride. I really like the picture, Bethany Beach, so I am posting it. Second is a 2014 Orbea Avant with new HED Ardennes Performance wheels.
No bike, but from same ride.

BTW The grass is always greener. You might prefer the climate and topography of the Appalachian foothills, but maybe I would prefer the relative lack of development and 1,000 lakes to explore.
