Cross country trip....

[DILLIGAF]

Oh well….back flared up on me but hit the ball ok. Ended up 10 over but could have been much better.

I think with the surgeries on the knees and all the driving I have done I need to get that back stretched out much better.

A good last day here and hitting the road tomorrow.

A public thank you to LuckyStrike and Mrs LuckyStrike for all the hospitality. I will see you next summer some time. You are very generous and great friends. I will miss you both. Roxy will miss you guys plus the pups as well.

AL, MS, LA here I come on the way to Texas.

Just so you can see my space for the night. Only one hear in a big grass field. Didnt have to disconnect as it is almost dead center for me.

They even lock the gates from 5P to 7A so it feels even safer.

Nice stop and there are restraunts within walking distance.

I had only one beer in the trailer. WTF was I thinking!

Anyhow…the pics are for you guys so enjoy. I will try to see the second floor in the morning like I said.

All these cars and the museum is owned by a local business man. $15. to get in.

Hopefully I stick around long enough to get pics of that second floor. Supposed to be some pretty serious cars up there.

She's already mentioned the first morning she wakes up and he's not there, got his hooks in her. I hope this gets them to get onboard for a rescue

Nice collection but I'm dead serious, ask them if they'll sell the bronze manatee.
Don't know why but I want it.

There is so much more I will add. I didnt even cover all of it. He just sold the adjoining property to Amazon and the crews are working 24 hours a day. Putting in a massive distribution center.

The owner is a local businessman.

 

[Taboma]

Wow thanks so much for a fantastic pictorial of this most amazing museum.
Take care heading West, there's a pretty intensive front line moving towards you that you'd be heading through.

Again many thanks for allowing us to follow along on this adventure.

That collection is beyond impressive.

Well at least you're going through it the skinny way, assuming there's anything left standing on the back side.

Looks like a big/busy place. Wonder what the fuel quality is...especially for diesel. Don't recall ever stopping in one during our various travels and diesel quality was always a concern for me.

 

[RVR SWPR]

Gotta be curious how many people work at that museum keeping everything clean? The place is spotless.
Tom,incredible effort posting pics,Thanks

 

[poncho]

Absolutely amazing, I could spend days in that museum.

Bucees Is The Best Great Fuel...No semis Allowed Caters to Boat Haulers RV Owners Cars Trucks
The Store in itself is Massive They Have Every Thing.....
