I had snapped some shots of this during a previous visit but the sun had been high overhead so I never posted any. This time, we had to arrive on Travis shortly after 8 AM (about 55 minutes before gates opened to the general public) in order to get some clicks of this one without people walking around it. It is extremely well maintained and presented.
