Amarillo, Texas - Day 2

Starting off today with a few shots of Fort Amarillo:

Front Entrance

Official Greeter

The park includes a small catch and release fishing pond.  There are lots of spots around the pond to cast a line or just sit and contemplate life.  The buildings are built to look like an old west style town.  I think they are used for a clubhouse, gift store, exercise room etc.

Resident Ducks

So what do a couple of RVers do when they are not driving down the highway?  Why, they go to an RV museum.

Have you seen this movie?

Every self respecting RVer owns a copy. At Jack Sisemore's RV Museum and RV Dealership, they have one of the buses from the movie on display. Very cool.

Checking out the driver's seat

Camping Tableau - Love the picnic basket

Check out the blue appliances - even the shower was blue

1937 Elkhart Trailer - First style built in Elkhart - RV manufacturing capital of the world

We are spending two days in the Elkhart, Indiana area on our way home.  Lots of the manufacturers hold tours.  I think we are going to be able to tour Keystone.  Keystone made our RV.  Should be interesting.

1946 Tear Drop Kit trailer

These Tear Drop trailers were made out of surplus aluminum after the war.  Some of the wheels had bullet holes in them and had to be  repaired before use.

Sleep inside

Just goes to show -  Everything old is new again.  The TAB is today's version of the old tear drop trailer.  Slightly bigger but the same concept.

Visiting the museum was a great way to spend the morning.  This museum is newly opened and well worth seeing.
