The picture's were great but the story with them made it awesome.... You need to do that in a Power Point Presentation before you forget it....

Awesome thread and pictures. Great to hear the story! I had no idea you had gotten the car going. That's awesome and makes me feel lazy with my car... thanks!

Very nice pictorial Joel. Very sharp looking Olds also

Thanks! You have a fine looking
Olds yourself, I know I saw it several times.

Great thread! How did your son like the trip?

He really liked it. We were gone from home for 13 days, and was concerned that he might get a little homesick, but he did fine. He takes a lot of interest in most of the same stuff that I do, which makes things go good. And I let him venture off on his own enuff so that he didn't get too sick of me. He also has his learners permit, so he got to drive the Olds just a little bit so he could learn to drive a manual transmission. I was planning to let him drive more, but traffic is so heavy out east compared to around here, I was scared to.

I'm glad you like it, it is really fun to go thru the pictures and remember the trip, even though it wasn't that long ago.

Heres a couple more pics from Lincolns birthpalce farm:



The old cabin:


There was a bear skin on the bed in the museum. We had fun asking the dead serious ranger chicks about it. "somebody has been sleeping in my bed and she's still here! It's Mama bear, skin her out!" Or maybe it was Yogi who got caught trying to steal another pikinik basket, there was a lot of rangers around! :o





Here is a shot from the hotel parking lot in Muskegon, lots of guys were out there cleanig up their rides after the rain earlier in the day:



I will get back to this some evening when I have more time to load some more pictures and finish writing the story. THere is a lot more to tell!
