Hello from Bristol, Tennessee. Lyndi and I are on the road again.

We left Westminster Tuesday morning. We are headed to Corpus Christi, Texas for the Vettes on Lex Corvette Show.

Vettes on Lex is a special Corvette Show that I have wanted to attend since I got my first ZR-1. The USS Lexington is a World War Two era aircraft carrier that is now a museum ship in Corpus Christi, TX. 400 corvettes will be parked on the flight deck of the Lexington. Here is a view of last year's event:

The proceeds from the show will be used to support the Wounded Warrior Project. Due to the cost required to certify the safety of the aircraft elevator, this will be the last year that Corvettes will be parked on the Lexington's deck. This makes it very special to us to have been selected to participate this year.

Our route to Texas is south on I-81, I-75, I-59, I-10, US-59 and US-77.

I designed or route to drive about 420 miles a day to allow some time each day for sightseeing.

Our early departure gave Lyndi the opportunity to take some interesting photos with shadow accents:
