Trans-Sansara Causeway Completed

 

For those who have been waiting and waiting to drive through the whole length of the Trans-Sansara Causeway, good news.  On Friday September 18, the Lindens and Moles added the last sections in the Thetis, Aptos, Tomales, and Swanton sims, finally completing the roadway going from the Luna to Mavericks. 

 

Some extra effort was done on Aptos Island. Besides the road, there was a rest stop added.  It was a large parking lot with an off ramp into the water for people to rezz boats. The place was well-detailed with the rocks and the trees. 

 

Between Tomales and Swanton, there was a metal-arch bridge.  As with the others, one could drive across it, or walk. 

 

From what I've heard, there was a small ceremony just after noon on Friday, with the gates opened and with Kit and Wendi Linden present, with some residents of Bay City.  Some would start driving right away or soon after. On Bay City Discord, Tish Coronet stated she could get from "Langdale to Truro, without racing, 35-40 minutes."

 

 

There would also be a video of the opening (by Bay City Studios). 

 

And so after about a month and a half, the Trans-Sansara Project is finished. And those with cars are free to go for a spin. But if you're a heavy lagger, be careful about going too fast when approaching a sim boundary.

Cartoon of the Day: Regional Head

 

From a highway on the Second Life mainland. Not sure who put that giant head there, but one wonders if something like that was by the road in real life, who might it be?

Snow Job: A Tour of Sansara's Winter Lands

Becky Shamen's been out on her explorations again. This time she went to the mainland continent of Sansara to trek through the sims permanently covered in snow. Deciding to stay on the roads, her trip took her through 20 sims, each different in some way. She saw a number of things from a theater, to traffic jams, to a promotion for another Grid, and of course snow, snow, and more snow.
