I would change the topic title and use it as a main thread and create a new one for the challenge ;)

Is that FAR I see? Somehow, I'm not surprised. It's good to see you here, David.

@Barby- Oops. This is just a "teasers" thread. If I need to rename it "Additional Pics," well... make it so!
I can only allow myself about half an hour a day to do this- I have so much stuff to do in 3RR. So here's the other 15 minutes worth.
Road building - Quad A.

You can probably guess at this point which side of the river is the less affluent.

Dedgren has joined?! I am in so last place now &cry2 that is to say when he learns to read the rules ... ;) :D
Better read the rules in your 15 minute sparetime, especially about posting pics etc... dedgren......lol... I only asked for two pics and maybe a plan. Please name your challenge thread something like *dedgren-Challenge1*. It will be easier for us to find and come back to when needed. Thanks.
This looks promissing, but nice pictures don't make a good mayor they say, right? We'll see....... :thumbsup:. I haven't unfortunetly seen much of 3RR yet (heard a lot about though), but am amazed of what I have seen, you're almost as good as me (NoG and Winding River Project to come).....lol....only kidding. All the CJ'ers have their style and qualities.
I am sure you'll be one of the harder competitors to play with in GRV II...... Let's see what you can do....... ;) Welcome to our GRV II Challenge and wishing you good luck and hopefully enough free time. ;)
Fred
Aaarrrgh David is here
So my only hope now is Fred will ask all the remaining challenge to not show any nature :)
OK David has his A game on and I quit lol!!! naw only kidding :D :D Loooking very good here with your extra pics David!!!
Hey, nobody quit, now- I had to catch up 'cos I joined late. Like Fred (mrb) says, this isn't a contest.
Besides, sooner or later I'll have to...
...the horror, the horror...
...actually build something other than roads, tracks and fences. You folks'll have to show me where all that other stuff is.
Seriously, I'm overwhelmed by the talent that's on display in this go-round of GRV. I've already snuck peeks at most everyone else's pics, and nobody has anything to be ashamed of. Fred and Lynn, hats off to the two of you for all your hard work in getting this together.
Anyway, one more pic and it's quits for the day here- I've got lots to do at 3RR.
This one's from "D" Quad.

Just some eyecandy as I plant a few tens of thousands of trees in Quad A while waiting for the next challenge.

Oh hell, David's pulled out the seasonal trees... And they look amazing!
In the winter pic, is that the snow cheat, a snow mod, or something else?
That first pic reminds of the drive from Sudbury along highways 17 and 6 into Little Current on Manitoulin Island in Ontario during the peak of fall colours. Absolutely beautiful.
david I feel a sense of 3rr here wow!!! Great job my friend!!!
Oh, dear, it's Game Over for all of us now. $%Grinno$% No, wait, Fred said this isn't a competition. Really, Game Over in SimCity? ;D
The seasonal trees are placed very well, David. I guess you planted each and every one of them in Mayor mode, right?
How many shovels did you use up to plant all these? Great pics, nice snow too. Keep it up.
Fred
Wonderful pictures David :thumbsup: The seasonal trees are great and road is planned very realistic &apls
Wonderful pictures indeed !
David, you're doing an excellent job there my friend !
The railway line looks excellent on autumn. In winter it looks a siberian landscape !
Can't wait to see more, and Take Care my friend,

No shovels, just lots and lots of lots of my own design.

They use Brian's (c.p./cycledogg) seasonal trees, and range in size anywhere from 1x1 to 24x24.

Lots of lots - I see that my plugins will be full to overflowing before the challenge is done. :D The nice thing about the pictures is that you've taken square and rectangular lots and have made a nice natual looking flow of the tree lines.
Go, Natureboy, lovin' the how the roads wind their way through the landscape. And the snow--there's a spring blizzard on its way here, it must have hit BorderTown first. But you know it doesn't stick around long this time of year. Next thing you know, the trees are leafing out.

Do not be afraid of the developing...move your mouse gently into that sweet developing. It's that icon at the very top of the menu...and make sure your bulldozer has a full tank of diesel...

WOW :o David this is perfect, the nature is looking superb &apls
Your work is simply amazing. I'd never had the patience to build up all this nature as long as I know that I'm going to destroy it again.
&apls
Great work david - your nature looks amazing! Are you using your mossy rock mod?
The FAR/R also looks so natural. Looking forard to more.
Those seasonal tree lots are great! It makes the forests look so natural.
You ought to make an icy limestone rock mod just for the perfect touch on those wintry pictures. I know, you've already thought of it with your brilliant mind :D, but I just thought I'd throw it out there.
Well, we're through the first challenge, and I've started detailing and developing Quad H.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg214.imageshack.us%2Fimg214%2F4857%2Fteaser090326a.jpg&hash=0f2099afb98aa41c7227c9df11ab37960bdf4282)
IR-10 enters the quad from the east (right) and then turns north at the point where it reaches the Blaine River across from Monolith Hill. It leaves the quad to the north (top) having generally followed the path of the old River Road along the Blaine, but the old road diverges to the west as a dirt road hugging the bank while IR-10 continues straight north headed for the border. South of the junction with IR-10, River Road, which is paved in asphalt from this point, resumes following the east bank of the Blaine, crossing Skunk Creek on a culvert. Another asphalt road- Rangeline Road, parallels the southern boundary of the quad. It carried IR-10 across the quad from the east to the intersection with Hollyberry Road just past the bridge over the Blaine River until the 1970s, when IR-10 was moved to its current alignment to the north. Rangeline Road also crosses Skunk Creek on a culvert.
The southern section of Hollyberry Road is a gravel-surface road that runs south from Askew Corners and its intersection there with Monolith Road. North of Rangeline Road it was IR-10's old alignment, and traces of the 1930's era concrete pavement can still be found, albeit almost completely deteriorated. It crosses Big Pine Creek on a culvert just outside Askew Corners.

West of Askew Corners Hollyberry Road resumes its path along the section line headed north. This gravel stretch was also the old alignment of IR-10 headed north to the ferry landing prior to 1973.
The final road of any significance in Quad H is Monolith Road, named for the flat-topped butte that dominates the landscape of the quad. This gravel-surfaced road enters the quad from the west (left), passes through Askew Corners and then bends to the north just before reaching the western base of Monolith Hill. From there, the road parallels Blaine River, leaving the quad and then reaching IR-10 just west of that road's bridge over the Blaine.
Wheat, milo, clover and dairy farms cover most of Quad H, with wooded areas remaining along the river and creeks, and on Monolith Hill.

Askew Corners has a population of 147, and its only extant businesses are a gas station, general store and hardware/feed and seed. The village also has two churches (from a time when its population approached 500), a cemetery, and a trooper subpost. Fire service is provided from Reuben, in Quad G.

That is one heck of a picture. When I saw this first I thought that it was a real photo, but then I saw the details of SC4 and I am amazed, especially seeing the green near the water makes it so real looking. Wow, when it will come to details and scenery in the challenges, I guess who is going to be one of the masters...... ;)
