Work Trips - Spring 2013 while at KAB

The Spring of 2013 was a busy time. I coordinated a number of Recycle-Bowl award ceremonies - NJ, DE, MA and attended some conferences too. All this travel afforded me the opportunity to get some water tower pics though.
The Delaware Recycle-Bowl winner was the DE School for the Deaf. This was the most fascinating award ceremony I did. I had a sign language interpreter and the whole ceremony was quiet. To clap we waved our hands in the air. It was wonderful. You can see it was quite a rainy day. This water tower was on the school's property.

Rosemont, IL.
My mother nominated me for a recycling award which allowed me to attend a recycling conference outside of Chicago.  What a cool water tower. A rose for Rosemont. I didn't have a car so I hired a cab driver to take me to the tower, wait while I took a picture and then take me back to my hotel. 

Boxborough, MA.
I went to MA twice that winter. Once for a Recycle-Bowl award ceremony being held outside of Boston. And again for the Mass Recycling Conference which was in Boxborough. I tried to tie the 2 trips together but a bad snow storm caused the conference to reschedule.

The new one found on the top of a hill next to a bunch of new big box stores.

Schulykill High Ridge Biz Park, PA.
I coordinated an award ceremony in a mining town in PA for our sponsor. It was a fairly easy drive from DC and I got a couple of water tower pics, but you can see the weather wasn't too good.

Following the Susquahanna River in Pennsylvania - January 2013

We drove to Danville, PA to visit family after a very tragic event - My cousin's wife passed away. The drive was beautiful even though the reason for going was so sad. The Susquahanna River Valley made a great and scenic drive. 

Thurmont. MD.
Thurmont is in MD on Highway 15 before you get into PA and Gettysburg.

After you pass through Gettysburg you head into Harrisburg, PA. My grandfather was from Harrisburg. We quickly drove through the downtown looking for his old home and a watertower. We didn't find either.
