Thanks for looking at my pictures everyone. The whole trip was planned for no other reason than I knew I would get some great shots of some of the units represented in the game we all love so much. Now I don't know where to go. There are a few small time air museums around Florida but I don't know of any other large exhibits. Anyone know of any others close by in neighboring states, I hate flying. [:D]

Any bugs I report are always straight stock games.

Whoa...I hope you got super good gas mileage on that. Must have cost a fortune. [X(]

About 30 mpg, less than $5,500 for the whole trip. That's everything, food, fuel, motels, knick-knacks, etc. I'm slowly planning another, probably shorter, trip in a month or so. This one I think will be up to Alaska then down to the Grand Canyon. Here's a link to some pics and the journal from my last trip:

That Patton Museum looks like a cool stop! [X(] I'll have to get up that way some time in the future. Museums with tanks are always a plus. [8D]
