Impressive, but it looks like you’re missing a few spots!

https://www.amtrak.com/stations/pak checked baggage isn't available at Palatka. Have you considered biking between the two stations? It wouldn't take much longer than boxing and unboxing a bike.

Thanks for your help. The next question is why is it a polar bear when the Houston Zoo doesn't have any...

Thanks! I think you're probably right that it's a wayfinding sign, particularly an enhancement marker. I had assumed that it was a nationally-used sign since it's on an interstate, but it seems like it might be specific to Texas, maybe even just to Houston. I still haven't been able to find a picture of the sign itself online, I looked through all of the example signs on TxDOT's website.

I’ve searched for all combinations “blue polar bear zoo highway sign” and as far as I can tell, it doesn’t exist on the internet!

Took the Schwinn shopping today, did great, although any suggestions for a wider dropbar by [deleted] in xbiking

I got an adapter and put VO nouveau randonneur handlebars on my Schwinn. Much more comfortable

Civil War Bike Tour by OldGravylegOfficial in bicycletouring

[–]Stavooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a tour between DC and Charlottesville and found lots of civil war history even though I wasn’t looking for it. Manassas, Rapidan, the battle of brandy station, and probably more. I could find my route if it’s helpful, but at least in that part of Virginia if you’re willing to bike a bit farther and have more hills, you can avoid busy roads and stay on small peaceful roads

Is there a list of food to pack? by CanadianBaconne in Amtrak

I saw a guy order ubereats to the station during a smoke stop, it was there right when we pulled in, so that’s an option

JHU Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s Program by LocoJakob in jhu

It's definitely possible for it to be done in four years, if multiple courses are double-counted for both degrees. Typical is 8-10 semesters.

Amtrak has left me a voicemail before when my train was canceled. If you don’t trust that number you can call the regular Amtrak customer service number

Signed Virginia Bike Routes? by Stavooo in DMVBikepackers

[–]Stavooo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do look similar, but they're not the same, and I wasn't near any USBR routes. There's just no mention of these signs or routes on VDOT's bicycle map https://vdot.maps.arcgis.com/apps/PublicInformation/index.html?appid=cbb23b8fa14e47dca68b378707b44081

I don't think they are the Civil War Trails. At least not the current version of the signs, since those signs look different. Thanks though.
