Introducing the series Road Trip 2007
My cousin and I have traveled life together since we were children. We spent summers on her parents ranch where we ran barefoot in the sun, shared all our secrets and giggled under the covers at night until our mothers told us to hush up and go to sleep. They were still telling us the same thing to our teenage years. And so it continues. She has just returned from a trip to the East Coast, cross country from ocean to ocean and I have "traveled" with her via e-mail and photos. I would like to share her trip with you as she shared it with me. I hope you will enjoy my paintings of the Road Trip With GG as much as I have. Yes, we still share our secrets and giggle into the night. Some things will never change.

GG's 2007 Road Trip
On my way to the Atlantic I swerved off onto Highway 64. Less traffic, slower pace and much better scenery. This old Barn is so interesting with old hay spilling out of the loft. Just to the side, the old farmhouse peeks shyly through the trees over the brink of a small knoll.

Here I sit in Morehead City on the coast of North Carolina waiting for Monday morning when I take the ferry to the Outer Banks! It is a nice place to wait. In the evenings I go down to the waterfront to see what the catch has been on the fishing boats. Sit awhile to watch the fun and have dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants. The sunsets are spectacular.

Along the road to Blowing Rock, North Carolina, a private homeowner has this delightful display of old cars and farm implements. There is an expanse of lawn in front that catches the eye. We came back to see it, no small feat finding a place to turn around.
While I thought the old tractor and rakes were really interesting, the girls went straight to this little convertible. It really is true that a convertible catches a girls eye. Obviiously it doesn't even matter what kind of condition it is in.

Elevation here is 3,510 feet and the valley is 2,710 feet below. The Blue Ridge Parkway has beautiful views like this at every turn of the road and every one has a pullout so you can enjoy them. This one seems special not only for the view, but for this great outcrop of rock. It is friendly enough to crawl up on and sit enjoying the view below..which I did. Down the left side a rock cliff falls at a 90 degree angle and there are beautiful mossy ferns clinging to the rock. You should see this, it is beautiful country!

I've been following the Mighty Missouri on Highway 90 and when the river turned south at Sioux Falls, so did I. This is new territory for me and it is great. From South Dakota on....corn, corn and more corn. I saw a billboard with a man in a blue shirt standing in the middle of a corn field...the caption: Oil Fields of Missouri. Being a farm girl, I really do love the good looking farms with the newly turned soil ready for the crop. I took an exit so I could take this picture and I drove over five miles before the road accessed the highway again.
This oil is on gesso board 5"x7" unframed. The cost is $100.00 - postage prepaid

The wide open spaces always intrigue me. Living in the Pacific Northwest with a llimited long distance view I love that you can be driving through range or farmland and in the distance see the city.
