Cut and Shoot not too far from me. I'm in Conroe. Supposedly Bonnie and Clyde would hang out there.

Jim- Thanks for that shot of Hopper's painting. It made me look up the print.
Amazing. Such a peaceful scene. A group of farm boys on their way to hell.

I agree Bob, Lyndi and I are both Hopper fans and were very moved by this painting.

On Tuesday, we drove from Laurel, Mississippi to Bristol. VA, covering 5 states. We went 150 miles more than planned today in order to get back to Westminster earlier in the day on Wednesday.

On Monday evening, we ate dinner at a Buffalo Wild Wings. Lyndi was ecstatic to discover Mini Corn Dogs on the Happy Hour menu. The phrase cheap date comes to mind, but not to be said out loud. I had wings.

We left Laurel, MS before sunrise and got to see a nice sunrise sky:

We drove 550 miles today and 1265 miles since we left the USS Lexington, the front bumper looks like a bug war zone:

On our way into town we found a Dogs and Burger place that was very photogenic:

We made it home just fine. Busy day waiting for us. We left Bristol, VA before sunrise and made good time up I-81.

Even though it has been very hot throughout Texas and the east coast, it is September and that means Pumpkin Time is almost here:

Our Vettes on Lex Road Trip was a great success. We were very proud to get to have our 1995 ZR-1 on the deck of a World War II aircraft carrier. It was really an honor to be part of the 9/11/2001 Memorial and to pay tribute to all who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

The trip was 9 days, 9 states, 3,418 miles, and one elevator ride up to the deck.
