Chery Knits: Cars, Day Trips and Knitting

Car Show Winner

My sister and brother-in-law entered their newly completed Chevy street rod. They won the Sheriff’s Choice and Best 40s Street Rod. Isn’t it beautiful?

This is my sister’s Chevy. She has a shelf-full of trophies and enjoys showing this car.

We enjoyed the afternoon browsing the car show with my brother, sister and her husband.

Pictorial Day Trip

Today we took an off-road trip to visit the historical markers placed recently along the original highway between Vallie and Wellsville, Colorado. I enjoyed reading the signs and taking pictures. We saw no wildlife but plenty of plants, old Denver & Rio Grande railroad tracks and tunnel, rocks and trees, sky and clouds. The history of the valley where my family lives is interesting and picturesque. And, we had the best tour guide possible, my brother-in-law.

My brother's house is in the middle of this picture taken from the other side of the highway and river. It is a very beautiful area.

What a wonderful day.

This is the Arkansas River that flows east in the valley. My family's homes are within a mile from the river.

Drg_bridge

A very sturdy rail bridge crosses a creek that flows into the river.

Tunnel_entrance

This tunnel was very interesting. It was the first time I had ever walked through a train tunnel. Unfortunately, no trains use these tracks.

Inspecting_the_tunnel

The cement work in this tunnel was quite interesting. You could see that it was poured in sections and the forms were rough wood or metal pieces. The seams were not smooth. Also there was lots of graffiti on the walls.

Knitting by the River

I enjoyed a few minutes knitting Opal Handpaint socks for my husband. The wind was blowing and the view was nice. I love knitting outside unless it is very humid.
