While dining in Morty on Saturday Lynne spotted our first Road Runner across the street, and we were able to get a couple of pictures.
While checking out our location on Google Maps, I was surprised to see that we are right next to a famous locale that is only viewable from the air or space. That is the name “LUECKE” carved out from the forest in letters that stretch three and a half miles long.

The larger-than-life statue of Sam Houston looking down the highway comes with its own visitors' center -- almost irresistible.
This location is known as the “Lost Pines” because it is a small island outpost of Loblolly pine more than 100 miles from the main body that encompases nearly the entire southeast. Something I couldn't learn on the internet --I wonder if the loblolly pines were what got taken down in the carving extravaganza?
