Just an unusual photo.

This guest in Monticello was seen in a local drive-through, last week.

(Note, the number has been photoshopped, to some extent.)

At approximately 340, Wednesday, this flatbed big rig made a left turn from McCloy Street onto Main Street (contrary to signage).

He safely made his way to S. Main St., without incident.

“Welcome!”

Most people who were born in the 60s, and possibly the 70s, remember when toys were made of real metal.

Tonka trucks were one of the favorites

What appears to be a full-size real-life Tonka truck was seen traveling through Monticello, last week.

It brought back good memories!.

This Nevada license plate was seen at a Monticello restaurant, a few days ago.

Chances are, it is possibly a Christmas trip, to visit a relative.

The Oscar Mayer WeenierMobile was in Monticello, Monday morning, and stopped at Sav-a-Lot and EZ-Mart North.

Several area residents stopped to make photos of the unusual vehicle, before it left, traveling north on Highway 425.

This helicopter, being pulled on a trailer, was photographed on Highway 278 W., after traveling through Monticello.

It was obviously strapped down with the rotor blades turned in a safe fashion, but still was an eye-catching site, for those out at that time of morning.

Spring break, for many people, has often met a trip to Florida for a vacation. One local family took the trip this year and shared a couple of photos.

This photo, taken this morning, shows a city worker “mowing the other side of the ditch” on Scott Street between Hyatt St. and HWY 425.

The extendable-arm bush-hog mower makes it possible to effectively perform this task, in a safe manner.
