Default Chaos gave me a great idea for "labor day" weekend

I could not go on a trip on either of The Vettes so I took off on "Junior".

Got on the 101 north, tried to evade traffic, and the PCH was clear



You can't win against CA traffic



Found a canyon road and drove on top of the whole mountain's crest.









Re-re-revisted Chumash Cave. the Geico guy used to live there









I had to....



Kept driving north, passed Solvang, and headed towards Ebbetts Pass



This would had been a great shot, but as you may know Yosemite's Fire is not far at all from that location.





Went to Reno, and won only $50. I stopped because they kept changing that dealer, and left.

On my way down, I stopped at Virginia City, NV





























This mine let public go down into the old mining caves. They
closed at 4:00PM. I got to go back there, and check the
mine. It got to be interesting sh*t.













to keep it Corvette related

Damn Pete, even with two broken Vettes, you still manage to go cruising
Signing that register with the Vette Barn was classic. Just be careful if you post that on CF though, HP would have a stroke.

There is a lot of "things to see" in Texas. I know you guys lack on green scenic views, but you have a fair share of landmarks.

I have few Texan items on my list

Dublin Dr. Pepper, G W Bush's library,Pacific War Museum, and will visit Fast N' Loud garage.

I already visited The Alamo, Friz (2), G H W Bush's library, L B J's library, NASA Center. I also visited a whore house somewhere in that big state.
