I think that 15 may be pushing the envelope a bit. It has been overcast and rainy today, so I'll have to keep my thumb on the pulse of the weather.

Personally I would love to see a few full 360 degrees panorama shots from the middle of former intersections. Take your widest lenses, some orange or red filters and a pocket grey card to meter off of. It will be well worth it IMHO.
