We met on the west side of McMillan Parkway, across from
Coors, where we meet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...we headed north, via back roads from Coors |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...we topped a hill around Eagle Mountain Lake and saw
the dreaded find - a short stretch of ROAD CONSTRUCTION
:( |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...our first stop was the Wise County Courthouse in
Decatur, TX |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
Wise County Courthouse, built in 1896,
designed & built by Riely Gordon in Romanesque Revival
style
|
|

|
|
|
|
This was the inaugural Cruse for Hector's new C6 "427"
limited edition Z06 - he was hoping to obtain the
500mile break-in point for it today |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
our crew walked around, looking at the courthouse, old
buildings & of course taking a "pit stop" ;) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
during our stop, a really nice '55 2-door hardtop came
thru, stopped and visited with us a bit before moving on |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...back on the road, heading north up Hwy 730 - this was
a very fun Vette Road |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...we passed a caravan of Harley's from Ft Worth; that
were heading to a Charity Event - we both slowed to chat
but there wasn't a good place to stop so we continued
on. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
one of our stops was to be a historical marker in
Forestburg - we never located this one,
so we continue on up thru St. Jo, then on up where we
intersected Hwy 373 back thru Bulcher (basically a ghost
town now) |
