 The Gate City
Corvette Club of Merrimack, NH held their 25th
annual Show at the Anheuser Busch Beer factory park like grounds. The Clydesdale
horse stables (if you can call them mere horse stable) are in the distance. |
|||
 This events is one of the first
New England's show-n-shine's each summer. I met this same fellow at the
CT Corvette Wednesday nite cruise. He is actually a Connecticut Yankee
entry. |
|||
 This setting with all the entries
on the grass with numerous shade trees is peaceful and relaxed. Over 100
Corvettes from C1 to 6's attended. |
|||
 No doubt that Anheuser Busch has
a large crew of folk that attends to the grounds, gardens and stables.
Plenty of horsepower too. |
|||
 This C5 was dressed up as a Z06.
The Red wheels and accents made it a standout among the spectators Corvettes
in the parking lot. |
|||
 F*rd's from the Rhode Island Model
A Club were spectators also. I like that center pickup. |
|||
 One of the added features of
my new C6 is that even on Memorial Day in NH we are still able to enjoy
the comforts of home like... |

 Although there are free tours
of this factory showing the beer making process, I was more interested
in the Clydesdale Stables that house this corporate symbol of Budweiser.
This part of these beautifully trimmed and manicured grounds is also free.
The price is right! |
|||
 These are the stables and they
are spotless both inside and out. I'm not sure if the stable hands quarters
were as nice and rich as these quarters. |
|||
 There were about 20 of the Clydesdales
in the stable and corral. I did not want to use a flash and spook these
beautiful critters so you'll have to visit the stable yourself. |

|||
 After the show, we took Rt 101
East to nearby Dublin, NH where we took a break in the parking lot of this
New England institution. I am a subscriber to this Yankee propaganda too. |
|||
 Comparing these Yankee publishing
offices to the Clydesdales stables show that the Bud ponies live in a fairly
upscale facility. |
|||
 There are few roads in NH or VT
that don't provide a view of a covered bridge. I stopped counting them. |
|||
 Wilmington, VT on Rt 9 has one
of our favorites spots. It's a one horse town, with only one Red light
and nothing taller than three stories. It does have the requisite fast
rushing stream. |
|||
 We have stopped in Dot's
Restaurant in Wilmington, VT many times. If it's ever up for sale,
I'll only have to change one letter in the name for personalization. |
|||
 Sorry this pic is fuzzy, but
on Rt 8 in VT near the MA border are about a dozen of these wind mills
generating electricity. |
|||
 Although the weather was threatening
all weekend long, there were actually few rain drops to be found for any
extended period. But there was another beautiful rainbow and even two at
once, but those jpegs did not come out. I like this kind of work. I may
un-retire. |

was rooting for one of the few Chevy powered entries to win again, but
my Bronx home boy Colin Powell was the only bright spot in a Chevy. I like
him. He isn't tainted by politics.
