We decided to try to see more sights this year instead of going to every venue. On Sunday we decided to go to the Space Center in Huston:.
They also had a Mythbusters exhibit:

The next morning we stopped at the Delorean shop North of town. We could not tour the shop, but it was a neat quick stop.

On the way to Arlington the next day we detoured to Waco to check out the Magnolia Farms Silos. On the road. We saw this camper a few times.

It was really hot on Tour this year so the next few days are kind of a blur with no side stops. On the road again:

Last day of driving:
The whole week was crazy hot with lots of sun. On the last leg we hit some bad stop and go traffic and had to break out the umbrella. Not great at any speed but it helped quite a bit while we were crawling along.

On the way home, I realized that I had been hogging the wheel and Teresa drove the last couple hundred miles:
Stopped at our usual end point before home:

Overall it was another great trip. We stopped at about half of the venues and saw some cool stuff. The only mechanical problem we had was the ACC fuse blowing and the drivers door stop mechanism. We went through about a dozen fuses before replacing the cigarette lighter socket along the way and used some WD40 on the door issue.
We logged 3,415 miles (well over 3,000 with the top down). Used 135 gallons of gas ($294) and got 25.3 miles per gallon.Chris - HRPT Long Haul 03, 04, 05, 13, 14, 15,16 & 18
