Out For A Drive…

March 2, 2009

Yesterday, we decided to just set out in one direction, and start driving. It’s fun to look at all the little towns TX has to offer, so sometimes we do that. We made a big 119.5mi square’ish circle (GPS Tracked/Saved/Verified), and these are a few of the shots I took…

 I thought this was awesome (the scene, not the pic). Just to the right of the plane is the owners house, and behind that is a LONG grass covered runway. He also has another older plane (looks like a WWII fighter jet) in that open garage. VERY cool scene…
