Gettin' back to your roots....

I have been meaning to post these pictures for
over a month or two now, but never had time.

One Saturday the wife and I jumped into the '69 to take a trip back to where it all began. We left the house and cruised to Hermann, MO on our way to Chamois, which is where the '69 was originally sold. I let my wife take control fo the camera and I think she came a with some unique shots. Anyway, enough talking it's time for some pics!

After editing this shot, it reminded me of an old GM advertisement with the picture color.

Unfortunately this old gas station was a little cluttered (trailers/cars...) so we couldn't get any better shots at this location. Better luck next time...

Re: Gettin' back to your roots....

Great pic show. What a great fun experience. Your wife has a real artsy flair to her photo abilities. And of course I have to mention. Your truck is SOOO nice. I could just sit and look at your truck all day long. I think I have a few good wallpapers now. Thanks.

Great pix! Great locations! Great truck! Trucks like that are why I have such a bad case of stock-itis, but I'm not looking for a cure!
