Miracle of America

What do you do on a rainy day? Go to a museum, of course! Didn't really expect too much from this museum http://www.miracleofamericamuseum.org/ but ended up spending almost 2 hours there - yes - Joel spent 2 hours quite happily in a museum!

 It is true that aliens have landed in America and the government has been hiding the evidence.

Huge collection of war stuff from the American War of Independence all the way through to the Vietnam war.

All sorts of stuff covering all aspects of life over the last 200+ years including farm machinery, snow machinery, medical and dental equipment, toys, household stuff, musical instruments, tools, mowers, cars and trucks etc etc.

 

A complete 1950s diner! Sheryl - there's your fridge - it's a General Electric with a freezer and it works!

 And here is your new tiny house:

 One room for everything - no bathroom though

And here is your Vespa

Dad - a display case of cameras for you.

 

 

Tanya - this one's for Neil and the boys

 A boat for the Oate's

 And one for Shem and/or Jacob

 

Harleys and Indians for Les and Kurt and Sheryl's Dad

 It has a Harley badge so it must be a Harley scooter

For all my biking friends - just a few of the many many bicycles

 Armed and dangerous - ready for war

 telegram for you!

 1897 tandem bicyle

 1890 chainless or shaft drive

 Pretty - this would be considered very trendy around town at the moment!

 

One last thing - my next campervan -  made from parts of several vehicles: 1947 Spartan caravan, front was a GMC truck with grill and bumper from a Pontiac and tail lights from a 1959 Ford, 1966 Old Toronado engine, and a bell crank to solve the steering problem being that when you steered right it went left!
