Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast
Best kind of road trip, working towards a destination but taking time to explore.

Drewbert. We will be at Chevy hall of fame tomorrow
Pm me if you want to stop in and say hi These rural roads can be sketchy out here Just barely missed some farmers dog that creased the road in front of us And everyone seems to be in a hurry passing us Although we haven't had a semi do it on a two lane road Yet |

Muhammad Ali was an amazing human being
Compassiionate Humanitarian Singing Dreaming Big talking Poet That was one bad dude when he fought When you enter the museum an escalator takes you up 5 floors Looking over the the Ohio river You then walk back down Floor by floor, viewing his life Check out the Kipling poem "IF" They ran a video to this when you entered. It was so powerful yet compassionate They also had his West Coast Choper Displayed right when you walk in 10' long. And 110hp |

Early this morning. We started at Louisville Slugger Museum
Which is still also the factory This place cuts down 40 thousand trees to widdle down one baseball season worth of bats Sustainability (of course) Back in the day they made 6 million a year by hand Now they only have to pump out 2 mil since aluminum bats came in to fashion And they have computerized lathes and cnc machines. To do it A very informative tour that they wouldn't let me take pictures of But outside you could swing an authentic bat used (and some signed) By your favorite player. All you had to do is wear their special gloves That's B's hand to the left. He pretended to hit homers with several Including a signed 'Ricky Henderson ' |

Couldn't stay awake last night long enough to post our last stop
Boarman's Chevy Bel Air Showroom About 3 in the afternoon I called and the guy on the phone said "dad should be here till about 5" which I replied"I think we should be there around 4" We rolled in a couple minutes after 4 but weren't really sure where to park It was after all a used car dealership So I walked in the place and the guy at the desk introduced me to Dad said he bought the dealership for $500 bucks back in the 60s Showed us his original #6 dealer license plate for the state of Illinois Mr. Boarman walked us up to his museum, but when we walked inside it was all impalas and 3 novas. I asked"where are the bel airs?" He replied"several years ago I saw they were getting soft in the market, so I sold them all" Then he decided to buy original low mileage original paint impalas when I told him he needs to change the sign on the front of the garage He said yes I do, I just put those sticker letters up there by original ones That day Impala, in the mean time In the next hour and half he showed us his collection Which included Over 600 die cast metal cars Still all in there boxes There was even newspaper articles about him How he built the only theater in town and gave it to the city Such a nice man That visit was so cool |
