I’ll check back on the Summer Solstice next month.
That’s Cadillac Ranch! We stopped there and really enjoyed it. It’s iconic - on the highway, Texas, old Cadillac cars, and A spray paint vendor onsite. somewhere Dali is smiling upon those old wrecks.Okay. Since you asked, here's a couple of my photos of Carhence in Texas. Cans of spray paint are left around for the Druids' worship.

Thanks for the correction. I got the two art installations mixed up. Here's Wikipedia links to the two.That’s Cadillac Ranch!
That Carhenge is pretty neat.Thanks for the correction. I got the two art installations mixed up. Here's Wikipedia links to the two.
Without Monsignor James Horan, perhaps the shrine would not be what it is today. He wheedled money out of government and the pockets of the then faithful citizens of Ireland and members of the dominant relgious tradition.Knock basilica. The size is surprising but it seems 450,000 people came here once to see the Pope!
I actually have flown into NOC to visit family. Great to see the pictures @Corned Beef , and you’ve got that story right @Kirkie .The Monsignor who gathered the money for that airport had a great vision,

It attracts thousands of passengers and many visit the shrine.
Thanks for the photos.
I love the names. Our short stay in the Dales had us spending a couple of nights in Giggleswick.Back in Blighty and in the Yorkshire Dales
Path from Aysgarth along the river Ure to Ashrigg and back by a higher path through the hills
@backlasher that Texas heat is rough. This week I called the San Antonio Diocese regarding the Missions walk. There’s 4 of them on a 15 mile route, and it sounds like a great jump start on the Camino. They did warn me that the heat Is extreme, so if I travel there it’ll be a very early start.I live just south of Houston, Texas and walk indoors at our recreation center. It has two pools, two basketball courts, a weight room and, most importantly, a walking track. Since it's already over 100 degrees F with high humidity, I walk indoors. I walk about 4 KM now but will increase since I'm about a year away from my walk on the Camino. At 76 I hope to be able to finish. Slow, short stages should help.
In 1836 Texas won it's independence from Mexico and for ten years was a country of its own. This is a monument to the battle that won that independence.
On June 20 a postal worker died because of the excessive heat. Be careful and drink lots of water.@backlasher that Texas heat is rough.
