I took this picture through the sun roof when I caught up to the Zeppelin near Mile Post 69.
The next off-ramp was sixteen miles farther at Hovatter Road. The propellers on the sides of the hull distinguish the Zeppelin from blimps, which have their propellers mounted below the hull on the gondola.
This photo is available a prints as large as 16 inches by 24 inches.
Eureka was flying about 87 km per hour about 1,200 feet above the ground.
I passed the Zeppelin again and pulled over at the junction of I-10 and Highway 66.
