Surprise Rat Rod Show

[Captain]

A few weeks back, I went to visit my friend Charlotte who just retired as a IRON WORKER.
She had volunteered to ride two legs of the HRPT, Bloomington to Davenport to Joliet.
Since it was cancelled, she invited me down to see the trailer she is working on.

[Captain]

So I drove the Indy Racer down the 280+ miles, between rides in Tall Corn County of Illinois, helped her with her porch project.
Now to refresh your memory, I'm a retired Teamster, (Job Site Supply and Delivery)
Worked with Charlotte on Large Scale Projects.
So I was Scolded that "Anything over 6 ft above GRADE is My Work !"
So I handed all lumber up to her for the roof....LOL

[Captain]

After a 3+ day visit, had all the ruffing done.
And headed home.
Just North of Bloomington, these Party Animals blow by. Soon out of site up I-39......

I've been on the road for over an hour, just above 1/4 tank, thinking that north of here things get scarce, I will get just enough of Illinois HIGH priced Gas to get back into Wisconsin.....
Coming down the ramp, here's a Rat Rod Car show in the parking lot next to the gas station !!
I would have to Turn In My Rusty Iron Collector Card if I didn't Check This Out !!!

Had a HOOT for over an hour,
met some Kool Folks, Seen some Great Rides, and FREE EATS TOO.

So with a full belly, 10 gallons of gas, head back to the Tall Timber Country of Wisconsin.

It was organized by these Hozers
