I went to North Dakota too!!

Just like Bobby and his family I left West Virginia and went back to ND for vacation. Both my wife and I were born and raised in Garrison ND. We made the 3000 + mile trip in our 350Z. I will not make the trip in that car again. It was fun but let's be honest, the 350Z was not designed to be a cross-country cruiser. I did find a deserted stretch of road in ND and let the Z stretch it's legs. What a blast!!

On the way back we stopped at the Kruse Museum in Auburn, IN. It houses, among other things, many of Carl Caspers creations. Just a quick list...The Shaker Trike, Popcorn Wagon, Beer Wagon, Paddy Wagon, Pinball Wizard, Batmobile and other vehicles from the movie, General Lee, A-Team van, many Indy cars, 4 top fuel dragsters, etc. There are several other museums in the building but we just didn't have enough time to see everything.

Glad to see that Bobby made it back safely. A lot of things can happen in 3000 miles of driving. I really don't know how some people get a driver's license. Don't even get me started on cell phones

Glad you made it back John. I started the think ND wouldnt let you leave. We will have to plan a trip together out to that museum.

So how many photos of the Shaker Trike did you get? Glad to have you back in the area John. See you Tuesday?

Gary, I took about two rolls (48 pics) of museum cars. I need to get a digital camera! I tried to get at least one pic of each car. The Shaker Trike has a different paint scheme and carb setup than it did in the original issue of the model. I took as many pics of the Trike as I could but could only get to it from two angles. Could not get a good shot of the interior.
