I was riding along as a passenger Angela, being a passenger trying to get a shot is all I can handle, maybe in my younger days, but then the beer can would get in way also. Thanks so much for looking and for your kind comment, greatly appreciate it, so glad you enjoyed, thanks for the thumbs up

So glad you enjoyed rlaugh, Jim Carter and I went out along Loop Road, and stopped to see Molly, and she took us for an airboat ride. It was a beautiful sunny day with lots of water ( about 6-10 inches) to make a super fast ride. Always appreciate your looking and kind comment, thanks
