A turning area and access point to the ocean at the end of a tree-lined cul-de-sac, picnic facilities of course !
Route 2 Bridge and pools, Tawny
The watercourse has been dammed here in the past, so for the moment the river stream trickles through choked pools and rusty culverts as it passes beneath the arching span of the old bridge
Route 2 Old Viaduct, Eggar
Development has raised the level of the land here, and the small valley spanned by the viaduct shows few clues as to it's original purpose, however the arches still provide shelter from the elements for flora and fauna, and it might appear, tramps too !
Route 2 Great Seawall, Buff
Just around the corner from a picnic parking lay-by with panoramic views across Buff Bay, stretches the long stone line of Buff sim's coastal defences. You can stroll onto the short pier and along the boardwalk promenade which offers a bracing ocean breeze on wilder days.
Route 2 River Bridge, Buff
Spanning the estuary into Buff Bay, this bridge offers further views from it's relative elevation above the rushing waters
Route 2 Arboreal Roundabout, Buff
Three roads converge here at an old tree of such character and antiquity that a roundabout was constructed around it to preserve it's majesty for all to admire, quite what species it represents has been open to much controversy !
Route 2 Iron Bridge, Quaker
Although lost in modern development, this relic from the industrial revolution, now spanning little more than a dried up canal basin, has been fully restored and shined up to something of it's former glory, even passing a health and safety audit recently with flying colours !
Route 2 Zebra Crossing, Ginsberg
Abbey Road anyone ? ... well, not many zebra crossings in SL but this one links the adjacent gallery and shopping areas either side of the road in Ginsberg, so that prospective visitors are safe from being mown down by cars, juggernauts, mole-tanks, whatever other powered object may be passing through on the busy highway !

The highway turns sharply round the coast here, forming a natural viewpoint over the ocean. A viewpoint and rez zone is here for your use.
Route 2 Tiger - Togata Tunnel, Tiger/Moma/Togata
Difficult terrain here necessitated a deep bore through the hillside to link the regions, and a substantial stone lined tunnel exists here to allow free passage. Excavations also opened up a surprise in the hillside !
Route 2 Ocean Panorama, Togata
Another sharp turn in the road to follow the coast opens up a wide vista across open ocean. Travellers may stop and tarry a while here at the viewpoint.
Route 2 Oriental Bridge, Togata
A wide ocean estuary ravine here requires a bridge to span the gap and an elegant span of vaguely oriental outline performs this task.
Route 2 Stone Viaduct, Emmelia
A stone viaduct carries the road securely across the ravine into the ocean at Emmelia. A small decrepit dock lies in the waters below for those wishing to go boating.

This road lies mainly incomplete at the time of writing, however some sections have so far been completed to provide additional transport links. An example of this is a section joining the major junction at Woolybear in the north to Emmelia on Route 2. This section required some considerable gradient engineering to overcome the differences in altitude between these regions.
Route 3/Route 2 Southern Junction, Emmelia
The two routes merge here in a T junction adjacent to the viaduct spanning the ravine.
Route 3 Lower Bank, Lunaris
The road ascends a steep bank here rises with the terrain, excellent spot for sledging if it would only snow !
Route 3 Upper Bank, Lunaris
A second rise requires a large stone embankment in order to prevent subsidence of the hillside below the woodland above.
Route 3 Hilltop Woodlands, Moma & Tridens
The high hill crest at Moma, as well as offering panoramic views of the surrounding area and not-so-distant coast, retains some natural woodland across its border with Tridens. The park also contains small lakes and a pagoda summerhouse in which weary travellers may take a breather. There is a rezzing area here too.
Route 3 Oriental Bridge, Tridens
The red oriental bridge at Tridens gracefully mimics its surrounding oriental architecture as does its twin down the ravine in Togata. From the bridge, the road heads due north across undulating terrain towards Woolybear Junction.

Route 8/8A/8B/8C and the Old Wagon Road (The "Japanese" Continent) : Konichiwa!
Because of it's shape many call this the "Japanese" continent. With that in mind the roads and public buildings along these roads have an eastern stylistic flair. Originally the roads were supposed to connect, but due to mistakes when the land was divided as the regions were brought online many of the routes end in abrupt dead ends. A system of false tunnels and billboards at dead ends will offer teleports when touched to allow travelers to easily keep exploring the road network without having to backtrack or search the map for where the road picks up again.
Route 8 Bagheera shelter, Bahheera
The Bagheera shelter at the end of the road is the perfect starting point for any exploration of the land. On the back wall is a large map of the continent showing the location of all the main routes; 8, 8A, 8B, 8C, and the Old Wagon Road. Smaller versions of this building exist all along the routes at various points to give explores an idea where they are on the overall map and to provide "rest stops".
Route 8 RT8-8C Junction, Davros
Turnoff point for RT8C (still under construction)
Route 8 Bridge Out!, Davros/Fenric
Look out! The bridge is out! Can you drive fast enough to make the jump? Go ahead and try! ;D

Southern junction with RT8A. Small rest stop with a lighted lamppost, sitting area and map kiosk.
Route 8 RT8-8B Junction, Cipactli
Connection with RT8B, just south of the Furki Rest Stop on RT8B/8A.
Route 8 Toroge Kiosk, Toroge
Westernmost point on the roadmap. Tight curve with an example of one of the small map kiosks.
Route 8 Bletschorn Tunnel, Bletschorn
False tunnel used to bypass Damastock. Touching the lanterns at the tunnel entrance will take you to the other side in Finsteraarhorn.
Route 8 Finsteraarhorn Tunnel, Finsteraarhorn
Mate to the Bletschorn Tunnel. Touching the lanterns at the tunnel entrance will take you to the other side in Bletschorn.

Route 8 Soulgiver Tunnel, Soulgiver
End of RT8. Touching the lanterns at the tunnel entrance will take you to RT8C in Ogilvie.
Route 8A Furki Rest Area, Furki
Rest area along the junction between RT8A and RT8B in Furki. Plenty of places to sit, relax, and discuss which direction you want to go next! Even has a working traffic light in the intersection.
Route 8A Aragonese Tunnel, Aragonese
Yep, another false tunnel. This one connects the broken halves of RT8A between Aragonese and Ellingson.
Route 8A Falling Rocks, Horns of Hattin
One of the most difficult tasks in constructing roads is figuring out what to do in "four corner" areas where the road runs through a spot where 4 regions meet. The region crossings can be very tricky in these spots. It's best to go slow and take the crossings one at a time. In this spot, the fallen rocks divert travelers in a way to guide them through the crossing along the best and least likely to end up crashing the client fashion.
Route 8A Tawa Rest Stop, Tawa
Small rest area with a couple of benches, a map kiosk and some trees.
Route 8B Dead end, Camazotz
RT8B dead ends in Camazotz with a billboard sign that acts as a teleport link to the Old Wagon Road in Rethymno
Old Wagon Road, Rethymno
The Old Wagon Road is a two-track unimproved roadway that only spans two regions. At either end are Billboard teleporters to take you other parts of RT8.
Route 8A dead end, Ellingson
The southern half of Route 8A ends in Eliingson where you will find two teleport billboards offering to let you continue on Route 8A in Aragonese or you can choose to go to Sababurg and take the Old Wagon Road.
Route 8C Ogilvie, Valeyard/Davros
False tunnel that allows travelers to connect to RT8 in Soulgiver (if they touch the lantern on the left) or the Old Wagon Road in Sababurg (if they touch the lantern on the right).
Route 8C Valeyard/Davros Waterway, Valeyard/Davros
Rez a boat and you can travel between Valeyard and Davros just before RT8C meets RT8.
Route 9: The Great Way Round (Jeogeot Orbital)
This route links with Route 10 and makes a large circuit of the whole continent, requiring some challenging engineering features along the way.
Still under construction, but already with many interesting sights!
Route 9 Lordshore Bridge and Lookout Point
The picnic platform gives a stunning view of the new Lordshore suspension bridge spanning several sims.
Built with the latest materials, the bridge is over 400 meters long, with 40 meters of clearance below the main span.
Look around for surrounding wrecks and caves here !
Route 9 Deongseo Tunnel
A sub-aquatic road tunnel passing through the inland sea spanning four sims between Deongyeongju and Seoraksan.
Most of the tunnels length is tough plasti-glass construction, mostly leakproof.
This affords views of the plant life and underwater activities in this popular body of water.

.png)
A small section of Old Route 11 was discovered in late `09. Wander this raised wooden walkway from Valtarin to Kwaito for a neat surprise.
Route 11
A wonky wooden and rough cobble stone tree lined road meandering though the continent. Rising from water level to over 100 meters high, Route 11 gives a variety of interesting views. From coastal to high mountains, from bridges to boat ramps, Route 11 has it all!
Route 11 rez zone and boat ramp
,_Passendale.png)
Though Route 11 does start a bit further South West, it has long been flooded. Here is the first rez zone and boat ramp.
Route 11 Amphibious Vehicle dunking zone

Yet another fun hill to race down =D
Route 11 Boat Ramp and End
Though Route 11 does continue to the South, it has long been flooded and re-purposed into waterways. Launch your boat here to continue the adventure!
Route 12
Route 12 is made for exploring from sea to shining sea, from the sandy beaches of the shore to the grassy hills of the interior to the rough mountain trails of the northern penninsula. This road is calling out for adventurous avatars looking to explore a continent. Along that way you will find billboards like the one here. These maps give a topographical overview of the continent and the road itself. A red star indicates your current location. The gold stars indicate points to which you can teleport. Touching the gold star will open the map. This give explorers the ability to easily navigate to parts of the route not yet explored.
Route 12 Beatrice Rest Stop, Beatrice
Close to the shores of the southwestern penninsula the rest stop in Beatrice is spartan. Little more than a few trees and a bench it is a turn around point and place to sit and contemplate which part of the continent you want to visit next.
Route 12 Dreyfus Crossroads, Dreyfus
The interesection in Dreyfus is nestled in the green hills of the continent. West is the road along the western shore to Beatrice. North is the climb over the hills toward the hairpin curve in Jaxipun and on to the off road trail on the northern point.
Route 12 Clinker END OF PAVED ROAD, Clinker
Just over the bridge in Elsa is the end of paved road. The rest of RT12 to the north is an unimproved dirt trail with steep hills, rocks, and undergrowth blocking the way. A pleasant walking or horseback riding trail the route is not recommended for large vehicles with a wide track or low clearance. 4x4 trucks and off road vehicles should do fine. Test your offroading skill on this one!
Route 12 Pouncival Roundabout, Pouncival
In Pouncival RT12 double backs on itself as the trail from Clinker snakes around the hilly terrain that makes up the northwest penninsula. To the north is a hill that will give even the best SL 4x4 a run for its money as you try to navigate around the switchback of boulders strewn in your path. Crest the hill and you're on your way through around the circuit of shear drops and undulating hills and back around to where you started.
Route 12 Donalbain Crossroads, Donalbain
The only other crossroads on RT12 Donalbain is rougly the halfway point. To the south is the short route leading to the endpoint at Camorro.
Route 12 Camorro End, Camorro
Endpoint of the southern branch of RT12 from Donalbain.
Route 12 Fenstriano Curve, Fenstriano
Rest point between the western half of RT12 and the east, Fenstriano is a good place to take stock in your transcontinental journey.
Route 12 Rannveig End, Rannveig
Final endpoint of RT12 in the east. Now to decide if you telport to another part RT12 or do you once more navigate the hills and curves backtoward the west.
Route 13
Route 13 is a small Route approximately 2.4km long. It begins in the mountainous regions of Borland Fell, Mysten, Frenscent, Fieldore, Siliconicus, Baddest, Servo, West Helsen, Phasmogore and Effingham and ends in the lower ocean areas of Kings Bishop and Omanix. The Path traverses very winding landforms which vary in elevation creating a very interesting and fun route. Great for taking your Bicycle or Horse for a ride, however it may be too much of a challange for larger vehicles.
Route 13 Rezz Zones.
There are Three Rezz Zones along the Route.
One at the Mountain end in Borland Fell.
One at the Beach end between the path and the dock in Omanix.
One at the border of Siliconicus and Baddest on the Siliconicus side, around mid way of the route.

... and a large park:
... and a harbor, with a nearby market:
Nautilus - Yamm (114, 205, 22)
Highlights around the Great City of Nautilus
The Pharos, Nautilus-Byth
As intrepid seafarers approach the great water channel leading to the ancient city; strange flickering beams in the sky, followed by a sighting of a lofty tower, alert them to the presence of the treacherous Nautilean coast. This large beam-house is The Pharos, and was constructed as a navigational aid replacing a much smaller crystal beacon, the ruins of which may still be seen on a nearby outcrop. Statues of sea creatures festoon the terraces of the Pharos, whilst a large idol of Hydraea, Goddess of the Sea, faces out to the Western Sea, both embracing friend and threatening foe with upraised hands. At the top of the tower rests the main lamp house where crystal energy passes through deflection grids to be streamed out to the cardinal points of the compass, clearly visible for many miles. Halfway up the tower, within a small open chamber at the top of the great stairway, is a focussing relay crystal which controls the nature of the Pharos' beam to suit the prevailing weather conditions.
Inside the great hall at the foot of the structure lies the main crystal reactor, within a deep containment pit surrounded by an energy screen. On one side of the barriers stands the console containing the control array and spectral coolant rods. As a protection against power overload, the reactor is gated to the sea via an internal pool and underwater tunnel, so that in the event of such an emergency, it may be flooded with seawater and extinguished. This pool should be empty and serene, however the Pharos has gained an 'unofficial' resident during some phase of it's existence. A rogue scientist fell from favour with the council of Nautilean elders due to his somewhat aggressive and more than a little xenophobic attitudes toward foreign trade, building crystal powered mechanical sea boats to disrupt passing trade and seize wealth for himself. Exiled from the main citadel he barricaded himself inside the Pharos, settling inside the main chamber where he constructed a new vessel within the confines of the coolant pool, periodically venturing forth from his lair via the sea tunnel to harry vulnerable shipping and steal supplies. This undoubtedly resourceful individual was apparently not immune to the mysterious cataclysm which afflicted Nautilus in the distant past, indeed some enigmatic writings discovered within the chamber suggest he may actually have been instrumental in hastening its effects, and all that may now be seen to mark his occupancy are his last and greatest undersea vessel, a variety of somewhat incongruously added docking structures, and a scatter of books dealing with a variety of arcane and eclectic topics. Judging by the compact size of his vessel, the physical stature of the Professor did not in any way match that of his mind !
Baal Public Park, Nautilus-Baal
Nautilus sports a pair of public parks adjacent to the canal bank. Furthest east lies Baal Park, which contains a small seating area where one may sit and watch crystal particle beam displays, and also a small secluded pool for relaxation and contemplation known as 'The Eye of Baal', the reason for which may be clearly seem when viewing the feature from the air.
Kothar Public Park, Nautilus-Kothar
The second park is located immediately adjacent within the Kothar district and contains a large outdoor public pool and thermal spa area alongside stone walkways. This location, in addition to the wild vegetation and arboreta common to both parks, also features a large outdoor mechanical chess set, the workings of which have yet to be precisely discovered, and a natural pool within which sits a small island upon which is sited a monument of unknown assignation.
Nautilus - Kothar (3, 186, 22)
City Sea Gate, Nautilus-Melqart
Two enormous bronze gates close the sea channel against hazards where it enters the great citadel wall. These may be swung open and shut, forming a bright star in the centre which acts as a night beacon when they are closed against entry.
Nautilus - Melqart (83, 228, 25)
The Canal, Nautilus
The deep channel of The Great Canal extends from the Citadel due east, and straight as a die, to the ocean, which it meets at the turbulent waters surrounding the Pharos. The channel has become home to various flora and fauna over the years.
Nautilus - Elissa (129, 6, 10)
Magellan Linden's Mole Tank, Nautilus-Mysehi
Technically his "atomic boring machine". This 4000 ton vehicle was constructed by the LDPW moles to Magellan's specifications; powered by a 500 megawatt fission reactor, it can slowly burrow below the terrain surface. Magellan used it only once, to cross under the strange dome or shield which hid and protected the city of Nautilus.

An extensive area of undersea features for the intrepid venturer to explore !
So put on your scuba set, mer-tail, or hop in your mini submarine and get under the waves.
There are sunken civilisations, black smoker volcanoes, blue hole deep sea caverns, brine lakes, lonely lighthouses, sunken vessels ...
... or a myriad other wonderful things there to be discovered, maybe even buried treasure !
A great place to start from is the small Help Island area in Degrand
Hatstat Ocean Area
Hatstat and surrounding regions
Descriptions to be added, in the meantime just dive into the sea and find out !
Zindra
There are many major items of interest in the 'adult' continent of Zindra, architectural marvels, major feats of civil engineering and of course the quirky but fun Zindra mono rail system !
Pengallen Bridge
This bridge, together with it's near twin the Silvercreek Bridge on Jeogeot was a prototype for a new design of modern suspension bridge in SL
Don't let that worry you, it's very safe !

The North Reservoir
This large inland body of water is retained behind an earthen bank dam of considerable size
The dam is open access, via the buildings and tunnel entrance at the foot of the dam
Internal tunnelways deep within the dam lead to storage facilities and to the central pump tower, also accessible by internal ladder for those not afraid of heights
The belltower spillway is connected to the pump tower and contains the main outflow system, beware of falling in - it's a long way out !
The dam has been unmanned for some time, there are rumours that other stranger things have moved into the tunnels ...
Ear defenders and safety harness recommended.
