Work Trip #20 - Jacksonville - August 26-27, 2007

So after our vacation to Ocean Isle, my mom and I headed to Jacksonville, NC where I conducted a Rural Recycling Coordinator Training. We saw lots of water towers along the way. It was pretty much a straight shot up Highway 17.

Hampstead. NC.

This water tower was at a school and had a pirate on it. Most likely the school mascot. However, it also had a recycling drop-off site under it. Very cool!




ONWASA.

What the _____? ONWASA is a regional water and sewer utility based upon the self proposed co-operative merger of the systems of local governments who desire to achieve the economies of scale and obtain the ability to negotiate and operate as one unified entity. This innovative achievement has been supported by federal, state and military officials throughout ONWASA's formation.

Then on the way back to Raleigh we took Highway 58 north through Maysville and Pollocksville.

Pollocksville. NC

It was like having deja vu. I drove this road 3 times in 1 month. Once for Melanie's wedding, once on this trip and then I had to go back to New Bern for an oyster shell recycling meeting and we took this road.

Hey Water tower Lady-
I finally made it to view your blog and added it to my favorites so I can easily come back and check up on you. I managed even to find your trip back to Omaha and the area water towers.

I had a great time in Monroe last month.

Take care
