Welcome to the region Johnny
http://www.post-trib.com/846015,depptour.article

Rod (Grinder on JDR) has reported on his blog that Johnny's there, seems happy, Rod has pictures of Johnny and also of Johnny and Michael Mann. More local people are posting news in the comments area. Seems the chase scene could happen today instead of tomorrow and Johnny's been seen waving at people out of building windows. B) That's our Johnny! woohoo

Oh my God it is so exciting to wait for the pics :snoopy

We couldn't tell if that was JD in the car or not, but think it was. The cast limo (white vans) pulled up and then someone got out of the van and got into the car.

Welcome to :jdr Katiedid1226!!
Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful pics!! That should have been Johnny driving the black car with the camera attached to the side. How exciting!

Also, Rod said on his blog that there are two white SUVs and a black one. Look for Johnny to be in the black one. Well that's the way it's been today anyway.

Thanks again for bringing us such wonderful pics. I'd love to post them on our JDR blog. I hope that's OK!

No problem. :thumbsup
