All Things Trucks

Keegan really enjoyed this KOA.  He was a busy boy from 3:30 to 7:30.  His activities included swimming, biking, inflatable pillow jumping, and playing on the playground.  He tired himself out and was alseep by 9:30.    The next morning we were on the road by 8:45 a.m.  We were not really in a hurry because we only had 300 miles to drive.  First stop was gas.  We saw this old truck and gas pump display across the street from the gas station.

These trucks were parked at the Iowa 80 Truck Stop.  Toby Keith performed at Cheyenne Frontier Days.

This is a specially painted  trailer on display inside the Iowa 80 truck stop.

One of the trucks on display could be sat in and Keegan took advantage of that.

After lunch at Wendy's we visited the Trucking Museum located at the Iowa 80 Truck Stop.  The rest of the pictures show some of the trucks on display.  It is a nice museum and is open at no charge.  We enjoyed looking at and reading about all the trucks.

The walls of the museum displayed truck related advertisements.  Can't pass up a Firestone sign.

This truck holds the speed record for a semi which is 150 miles an hour.

We would have liked for time to read all the information available for each truck but we needed to head on down the road.  We were glad to get the opportunity to spend a few minutes at the museum.

We finally got back to Decatur and into our driveway about 4:15.    We have unpacked some but more remains undone.  That faces us tomorrow.  There is lots to do tomorrow and it will probably spill into the rest of the week.  There are  lawns to mow,  garden to be taken care of, laundry, etc.   We were so glad to be able to spend a few days with John and Family and Kara and Family in such a beautiful part of this country.
