God Bless. Have a funtastic week. Thank you for visiting and sharing your time and thoughts with us. I appreciate y’all very much.
Welcome back to another Which Way Challenge (CWWC). Let me first apologize for being a bit late in posting this week’s Which Way Challenge. Our internet was being wacky going in and out not staying connected for the longest time. Hopefully our WiFi will stay connected so I can complete and publish.
This week I have chosen (CWWC)/CFFC 2026: Any Which Way with Views from a walk or hike for this week’s theme. This week’s CWWC I’m combining with Dan’s Fun Foto Challenge (CFFC). Let’s see what we are looking at as we take our walks or hikes. The Which Way can be any path, sidewalk, trail, or road as long as the Which Way is clearly discernible. As always signs are always welcome.
For further information regarding the Which Way Challenge (CWWC) feel free to check out the home page here.
This week Coleman and I took an early morning brisk hike at Kings Mountain State Park (not to be confused with the Kings Mountain National Military Park). We began our hike along the Lake Crawford Trail (Purple Trail Signs) then ventured onto the Historic Farm Trail (Yellow Trail Signs). Our starting point for the Lake Crawford Trail began at the Historic Bathhouse which was built in 1939 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). This Historic Bathhouse is considered to be among the finest examples of CCC rock wall and step construction in the Southeast.
As we continued our Hike, we ventured onto the Historic Farm Trail in order to investigate the Living History Farm. In this next gallery will began on the Historic Farm Trail and end at the Living History Farm.

God Bless. Have a funtastic weekend. Thank you for visiting and sharing your time and thoughts with us. I appreciate y’all very much.
Dan from No Facilities hosts the Fun Foto Challenge at and this week he is asking for our Views from Something on Water. I have gone into my archives for this one to past adventures on ships in the water.
First I’m going to take y’all way back to 1974. We’ll be visiting the historic Queen Mary docked in Long Beach, California. (Dan, you didn’t say it had to be moving.) My family and I toured the Queen Mary the summer after my high school graduation. (Yep, that gives you a clue to how long I’ve been around.)
These are views from aboard the Queen Mary taken with my dad’s Minolta XG-7 35mm camera …
The next Views are from the Enchantment of the Seas Caribbean Cruise Ship taken with an Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max during a cruise in February of 2020.
Please click on photos to enlarge.
Hope you enjoyed our views from Ships on Water. Looking forward to seeing y’all’s.

Here is what I have discovered …
Beginning back in my timeline of inventions …
Let’s look back a bit before my time …
The National Cash Register Company (NRC) was founded by John H. Patterson in 1884 in Dayton, Ohio. He pioneered the mechanical cash register to stop employee theft.
And even further back …
The letterpress printing machine was invented way back around 1440 by Johannes Gutenberg in Mainz, Germany. The letterpress printing machine enabled mass production of books, revolutionizing the spread of information. It was a dominant printing method for over 500 years.
On to other inventions seen at various museums …
Early Robots as seen in The Discovery Center in Abilene, Texas in March of 2020.
The Joe Steinlauf Bike, often referred to as the Bed Bike, is on display (at least it was in August of 2021) at the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer, North Carolina. The Bed Bike is an unconventional contraption designed by using a metal headboard.
The Olympia Typewriters were produced by the German company Olympia-Werke AG (founded 1903 in Wilhelmshaven). This typewriter was donated to the St. Simons Island Lighthouse Museum (St Simons, Georgia) in 1970 by Eileen Humphlett. It was one used by the author Eugenia Price.

Dan Antion from No Facilities , the host of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge (CFFC) has chosen to continue his themes dealing with this, that, or both. This week’s them is Up or Down or Both. I can’t imagine anyone being eavesdropper to hear on our discussion about my past family vacations to Stone Mountain in DeKalb County, Georgia. Memories are precious to recall regardless of whether they’re from long ago or just a few weeks ago.
I’ve drawn from the past and present to bring together a few Ups and Downs to meet this week’s challenge theme.
Here are my contributions …
