An example of this is a section joining the major junction at Woolybear in the north to Emmelia on Route 2.

| == Route 6 : The High Mountain Road ==
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Much civil engineering work has been carried out on this lonely and at times vertiginous road linking the SLRR with the Great Wall of Second Life, along a twisting, climbing route navigating the footslopes of the highest peak on the mainland, Mount Campion.
| |
|
| |
| Hardy travellers not afraid of mud, giddy heights or splinters in the foot, may now travel this way. The eastern hitherto impassable cliff face sections have now been bridged and made free to explore, while the western hillsides nearer to the broken wall still require an all terrain vehicle ideally of the four legged variety .. neigh !
| |
|
| |
| [[Image:01-greatwall.jpg|right|100px]]
| |
| === Route 6 : The Great Wall ===
| |
|
| |
| Access from the heights of the wall has been made down to ground level by a trestle ramp of heavy timber construction, strong enough for most vehicles, horses, camels, elephants … whatever one's choice of transportation.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| [[Image:02-athetis-rez.jpg|right|100px]]
| |
| === Route 6 : Athetis Rez Zone ===
| |
|
| |
| At the foot of the ramp, the route presents itself, inviting the intrepid traveller to commence the journey, the grass covered remains of the ancient stone of the wall footings winding away like a ribbon towards distant peaks. A rez zone is here for convenience.

| The vegetation closes in, mud, weeds and the occasional puddle encouraging careful driving, or perhaps checking the speed of your trusty equine steed.
| |

| |
|
| |
| [[Image:04-deltote.jpg|right|100px]]
| |
| === Route 6 : Deltote ===
| |
|
| |
| The path has become overgrown here over the years, remnants of the old wall being reclaimed and softened by nature's grasp.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| [[Image:05-deltote.jpg|right|100px]]
| |
| === Route 6 : Begin the Ascent ===
| |
|
| |
| Eventually, the path begins to climb towards higher ground, hugging a narrow stoney ledge into the foothills as the views below begin to open out.
| |
|

|
| |
|
| |
| [[Image:06-parva-rez.jpg|right|100px]]
| |
| === Route 6 : Parva Rez Zone ===
| |
|
| |
| The mountain slopes become less firm, narrow gullies necessitating bridges for easy travel where ground has given way in the past. There is a small rez zone just west of this small crossing.

| == 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.

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 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 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 14 ==
| |
| Nearly lost and forgotten, Route 14 is a slice of days gone by. Once dubbed "The Pixel Highway" this road once ran all the way to what is now Route 12. The Pixel Highway connected communities in the far north with those in the deep south in the days before teleporting. Today, Routes 13 and 14 are all that remain.
| |
|
| |
| When the old Route 14 roadway was rediscovered, the survey Moles were shocked to find it buried underground still in remarkable condition. Made of red brick, they believed it would be a shame to cover such handiwork with asphalt. Instead, it was decided to restore it to like new condition instead.
| |
|
| |
| Route 14 only passes through 12 regions from Speedstar to Mirandirge and is perfect for a short daytrip. Pack a lunch and explore a bit of history* as you go from the End Of The Line Inn to Sandy Trunks Beach... or vice versa. Along the way you'll cross Seven Chickens Bridge and Dead Mole's Curve. Be sure to stop and read the markers as you pass by.
| |
|
| |
| *Note the "history" is for entertainment purposes only (i.e. we made it all up)

| == Sandy Beach Trail ==
| |
|
| |
| [[Image:Sandy Beach Trail.png|right|100px]]
| |
|
| |
| Are you looking for a short day hike? Maybe something with a little added fun? Walk the Sandy Beach Trail!
| |
|
| |
| The trail itself runs from the Gilpatric Pier and Kamalakara Beach in the north, east and south to Tessentor Bay and then southwest to Lastness Marina. Visitors can then sail between the marina and the pier or off to points unknown. Sandy Beach Trail is a short, paved, landscaped walking path and is not recommended for vehicles larger than a bicycle or scooter. Points of interest along the trail include:
| |
|
| |
| === Gilpatric Pier ===
| |
|
| |
| [[Image:Gilpatric Pier.png|right|100px]]
| |
|
| |
| Starting at Kamalakara Beach the pier juts out into the coastal see of Gilpatric. At the end of the pier is a public boat launch (rezzing zone). Also at the end of the pier is a free to use LDPW sailboat and kayak, or visitors can grab a freebie Gilpatric Pier life ring as a souvenir and float about to their hearts content.

| |
|
| |
| [[Image:Kamalakara Beach.png|right|100px]]
| |
|
| |
| A public beach open to all, Kamalakara has beach blankets, umbrellas and beach chairs for your enjoyment. Relax on the beach and soak up some sun with your friends. Use the semi-private beach hut for changing into your swimsuit.

|
| |
| [[Image:Tessentor Canal.png|right|100px]]
| |
|
| |
| The region of Tessentor breaks the Sand Beach Trail into two sections, north and south. The north runs to Kamalakara with plenty of rest stops along the way. The south leads to Lastness and the marina there. To cross the bay travelers can rez their own boat at either end and sail across or they can click on the life ring at the dock. Sitting on the ring drops it (and you) into the water where you can then paddle across to the other side. Once you stand up the ring will disappear.

| === Lastness Marina ===
| |
|
| |
| [[Image:Lastness Marina.png|right|100px]]
| |
|
| |
| The marina at Lastness is a rezzing zone for boats that also includes a free to use sailboat like the one in Gilpatric. But don't go taking off yet! The Marina also boasts one of the nicest lighthouses in SL. Sure, there are plenty of lighthouses scattered across the mainland but few are as pleasant and cozy as Ol' Blue. Inside you'll find a library and upstairs a sitting room next to a wood burning stove. Curl up on the couch and gaze out to sea, or go all the way up for a view from the lamp house itself. At the base of the house is a souvenir life ring vendor.

| == TSL : The Great Highway ==
| |
|
| |
| Since the opening up of the TSL continent to the wider world, it was immediately apparent that the highway infrastructure had suffered from very little maintenance and a possibly a few violent natural disasters to boot. The moles of the LDPW are burrowing into action to correct this and give residents a much improved travelling experience.

| |
| === TSL Highway : Meiji East Rez Zone ===
| |
|
| |
| A large paved area forms the terminal rez zone of the highway, adjacent to an old raceway and an ideal place to prepare your mode of transport before heading out onto the open roads. Please try and clean up your oil leaks and horse droppings before you leave.

| |
| === TSL Highway : Meiji Cutting ===
| |
|
| |
| The road passes through a cutting, roughly blasted in the past to allow easier passage. Several signs warn of rock falls here, however it is a pleasant leafy place from which to climb a hillock and view the surrounding valleys.

| |
| === TSL Highway : Meiji Steps ===
| |
|
| |
| At the far end of the cutting, steep steps descent the valley side to a beach area on the wide river below, plenty of seating here for a picnic and whiling away some time.

| |
| === TSL Highway : Zaius Coast ===
| |
|
| |
| Steep mountainous cliffs necessitate the road striking out along a viaduct, newly constructed in traditional style from locally quarried stone. This elevated section affords wide views of the northern ocean.

|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| [[Image:T06-zaiusridge.jpg|right|100px]]
| |
| === TSL Highway : Zaius Ridge ===
| |
|
| |
| Regaining high ground as it crosses the valley side into Lodestone, the road doglegs as it rises and cuts through a high ridge thickly wooded with conifers.

|
| |
| [[Image:T07-lodestonerez.jpg|right|100px]]
| |
| === TSL Highway : Lodestone Rez Zone ===
| |
|
| |
| The road descends sharply from the mountain peaks to link with the Pinkwater Highway at Lodestone, another rez zone and rest point existing here for convenience.

... 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 !
Nautilus - Byth (3, 191, 23)
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.
Nautilus - Baal (69, 176, 22)
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.
Nautilus - Mysehi (110, 40, 23)
The Blake Sea
Connecting the Mainland to the United Sailing Sims is the Blake Sea, venue for exciting boat races and other nautical activity! A few islands exist in the Blake Sea; some of them are:

Other islands in the Blake Sea harbor smugglers, castaways, and sea creatures galore!
The Degrand Channel
Degrand, and surrounding sims to east and west
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
Degrand (95, 187, 24)

Don't let that worry you, it's very safe !
Pengallen Bridge (99, 53, 53)
Pengallen Monument
A Springtime monument, created on May Day and full of mystical symbolism.
Spend some time here, look for the patterns, find peace.
Pengallen Bridge (139, 78, 56)
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.
Pengallen Bridge (200, 240, 39)
