More “retro” photos from the drive across the country. Clicking on each small photo produces a larger version. Each has a caption which is also easier to read with the enlarged photo versions. (If you can’t see it, click the “i” with a circle around it at the bottom right and/or scroll down).
I remember “Sinclairs” from my childhood. They’re still out there! I think this one was in Missouri, my home state.To me, this doesn’t seem to be the best placement for a driving range–right next to the highway. I’ll bet the odd good player could make it over that high fence.I believe this is national forest in Oklahoma. This was a beautiful drive up, up — and a very slow one for my little rig.View at the topBeautiful red sumac at the overlookI just thought this was a neat-looking house.
