Watertower hunting with Owen and the Dogs - August 2009

I had been working really hard to prepare for the NC plastic bottle landfill disposal ban when Owen said to me one weekend, "We should go watertower hunting. You need a break and we haven't done it in forever." So in the car we went with the dogs down highway 55. These pics are listed backwards, but you get the idea.

As you can see, Millie loves watertower hunting.

Campbell University in Buies Creek (see link above for map) is a small town university but they have a very good law and pharmacy school.

Angier. NC.

Angier is just outside of Wake County. They have a nice little standpipe that is colorfully painted.









This is one of my favorite watertower pictures. Why you ask? It isn't colorfully painted or anything. Well, it has a recycling drop-off site under the watertower. The merger of my two passions. Also Angier, NC.










Holly Springs. NC. 

So much has changed in Holly Springs. It used to be just a sleepy little town with a municipal solid waste landfill. Now it's a big suburb with a larger municipal waste landfill. Thankfully Wake County finally resolved that issue. Landfills are unfortunately a necessary evil. Siting the landfill was ongoing before I worked there and after I worked there.
