This photos says a lot. I worked for 30 years for an American truck manufacturer. The small pension I recieve from that company, helps finance my wanderings about, in an old pickup truck. Here a class 8 rig rolls by on a 75 mph interstate, with a schedule to keep and little free time. In contrast, I’m poking along in second gear, four wheel drive, with my wife at my side, enjoying life in the "slow lane".

After we completed our hike to the Rochester Creek rock art panel, we drove the Moore Cutoff road to I-70. It had been a long day and we hoped to get as close as we could to the “Head of Sinbad” pictograph panels, where we wanted to camp for the night in the back of our pickup truck.

I had all kinds of maps and copies from various guide books, along with the pamphlet the folks at the Emery, Utah gas station had given me. Still I wanted to make sure we would head in the right direction so we wouldn’t waste valuable “road trip” find, by getting lost in the wide open desert country of the San Rafael Swell.

We took exit 131 off I-70. I had traveled the Temple Mt. road to Goblin Valley in the past, and this looked like the “shortest” way into Locomotive Point and the Head of Sinbad panels. The BLM map on the information board on the south side of I-70 cinched it. It clearly showed the turns I needed to make and the BLM road numbers I would take to get to our destination. It was getting late in the day so we headed down the dirt road, making a right at the proper place and then we came to the “culvert” passage that would take us back under I-70, heading north.

The dirt road was easy up to this point, but the “rock ramp” built up by off road enthusiasts to get through one of the two big culvert passages looked like it required due care and caution. Once under the interstate the sandy route to Locomotive Point was a pleasure to travel.

We visited the two panel areas. I am going to give them some names so I can refer to them more easily in this narrative. The Head of Sinbad panels face south and are little more than a mile north of I-70. In fact, now that I know where they are, I will be able to easily pick the area out, when driving I-70 between Green River, Utah and Fremont Junction.

The Head of Sinbad “west panel” was disappointing. The heads were missing for the entire row of pictographs. What I have read is that these 3,000 year old pictographs have not been vandalized, yet to me, it looked as though the missing upper portion of the pictographs – – didn’t look natural (if so, the heads should be laying on the ground, below where they fell – -they weren’t).

Next we drove over to the Head of Sinbad “West panel”. This was what we had come to see and it was impressive. There are two sets of figures on at the West panel and they are not far apart. Though the day was almost gone, we spent time staring up at these intriguing pictographs and taking photographs.

Next we drove west then north on a very sandy four wheel drive track until we found a side road leading up to a sandstone cliff sheltered camping spot, under a large pinon pine tree. Here we slept the night under a black desert sky filled with brilliant white stars. Wonderful!

Early the next morning, while my wife organized our traveling gear I clambered up the steep sides of the surrounding sandstone to get some “dawn” photos of the area we had camped. After leaving camp we opted to skip visiting the nearby arch and get back to the West panel of the pictographs, to have the area to ourselves and get some photos with the early morning light. This we did.

After retracing our route back to I-70 we headed east bound for the Black Dragon panel and for a hike up nearby Petroglyph Canyon.

Road Trip – Utah April 17th – 24th, 2010: My wife and I headed for Southern Utah, just before midnight on Friday the 16th of April (after she got off work at her part time job). We drove straight through to Southern Utah, to take advantage of the good weather forecast early on in our trip. Storms were forecast for later in the trip and in fact we got a pretty good taste of same on Wednesday the 21st.

Here in outline form are the places we visited and hiked:

Saturday 4.17.2010
> Rochester Rock Art Panel near Emery, Utah
> The Moore cutoff road
> Sinbad’s head pictograph panel (we camped under a pinon pine near here)

Sunday 4.18.2010
> Black Dragon Canyon rock art panel (after first taking the wrong turn and doing some interesting four wheel drive travel way up the San Rafael River). Short hike.
> Pictograph Canyon pictographs. Short but interesting hike.
> Drive Hanksville, Torrey, Boulder, to Escalante (check into motel)

Monday 4.19.2010
> Drive out the Hole In The Rock Road. Visit Devil’s Garden and Metate Arch.
> Drive to Dry Fork of Coyote Gulch. Hike down to Peek-a-boo and Spooky slot canyons. I hiked the loop up Peek-a-boo and down Spooky while my wife hiked with

Herring Building 669 Hudson Street

Herring Building 669 Hudson Street
Meatpacking District, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States

In 1849, Col. Silas C. Herring purchased this triangular-shaped parcel of land from Joseph Harrison. Herring (1803-1881), born in Vermont, moved to New York City in 1834 and launched a downtown grocery business that was wiped out in the fire of 1835. In 1841, Herring became theagent for inventor Enos Wilder’s "Salamander" safe, a type of fireproof, plaster-of-Paris-lined metallic safe. Herring bought the sole manufacturing rights in 1844. He profitably manufactured and marketed the safes with shrewd advertising, making him "one of the foremost manufacturers in the country," according to the New York Times. Herring’s first factories were located on Water andWashington Streets.

Based on tax records, this factory building was constructed immediately after his purchase of the land in 1849. A photograph c. 1854 by Victor Prevost shows that only the southern two-thirds of the five-story factory was standing at that time; another building was located to the north. Herring’s building was covered by painted advertising signs. At some point prior to1860, the northern portion of the factory was constructed. The building then had a pedimented parapet and central belvedere. The name of the firm changed by 1870 to Herring, Farrel & Sherman. In the 1870s, the firm expanded to a second factory, across Hudson Street at No. 666.After Clark’s death, the structure was very briefly held in 1884 by J.D. Eldridge and converted to a store-and-loft building (Alt. 193-1884, Joseph Esterbrook, Jr., architect). It was probably at this time that the cornice and storefront cornice were added.

The property was acquired in 1884 by John Petit, a major figure in New York real estate, as head of John Pettit Realty Co. and owner of the Bennett Building and other valuable downtown buildings (who mysteriously disappeared in 1898). The Herring Building was next purchased by Henry J. Newton (1823-1895),a former New York piano maker (1849-58) and president of the Henry-Bonnard Bronze Co., architectural and artistic bronze work, who also owned 339-349 West 13th Street (east of the historic district). Newton became a millionaire through his investments in New York real estate. His experiments in photography, his hobby, led to his being called the "father of the dry-plate process in America." Newton was struck and killed by a Broadway streetcar in 1895. The Herring Building was foreclosed in 1898 and acquired by the Estate of lawyer Stephen Philbin. In 1923, the old "Chelsea Landmark" was sold to the 14th Street and Ninth Avenue Corp., whose principals were architect James S. Maher and developer John J. Gillen.

In 1927, when the new owner was the Produce Center Realty Corp., the basement had a restaurant and bowling alley, the ground story had stores, and the upper floors were used for manufacturing. The City Bank Farmers Trust Co. held the property for ten years after its foreclosure in 1934; it was sold in 1944 to the Monash family, who retained it for nearly thirty years. The building, until just recently, has been known for its clubs over the last three decades, and was featured in the movie "The Hours" in 2002.

This vernacular neo-Grec style factory building, which is largely intact, contributes to the historically-mixed architectural character and varied uses – including industrial and market-related functions -of the Gansevoort Market historic District. Built c. 1849, with the northern section added by 1860, it is the earliest extant purpose-built industrial building in the first phase of development of the historic district. It further contributes to the visual cohesion of the district through its unusual triangular shape and placement at a very prominent and wide intersection, and through its three brick and stone facades and late-19"-century cornice.

—-About the district—-

The Gansevoort Market Historic District – consisting of 104 buildings – is distinctive for its architectural character which reflects the area’s long history of continuous, varied use as a place of dwelling, industry, and commerce, particularly as a marketplace, and its urban layout. The buildings, most dating from the 1840s through the 1940s, represent four major phases of development, and include both purpose-built structures, designed in then-fashionable styles, and those later adapted for market use.

The architecture of the district tells the story of an important era in New York City’s history when it became the financial center of the country and when its markets were expanding to serve the metropolitan region and beyond. Visual cohesion is provided to the streetscapes by the predominance of brick as a facade material; the one- to six-story scale; the presence of buildings designed by the same architects, a number of them prominent, including specialists in market-related structures; the existence of metal canopies origi
