Ok, this will be a record for me for most pics posted that I’ve taken in a single thread. I took these pics in July, but it’s taken me a while to get them all posted with 44k dialup. I know I’ve told a few of you about the tank museum before in the past, and you guys thought it was really cool, so I wanted to take a bunch of pics for you guys. I hadn’t been back there since I’ve had my digital camera.

For those who are new, this tank museum is about 15 miles from my house. Once a year in the summer they have a military show, and people come and sell parts for military vehicles, and some other military gear from long ago. This show occurred a day or two after I got my #4 Scrap Yard challenge coin, so I was sure to pose with it in several pictures. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

To keep people from trying to break in after hours, they have a large female African lion that’s a pet named Tara. At night they let her roam the building loose to prevent break-ins. And you thought coming face to face with a large dog was bad! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hey Dan, if you’re ever drivin’ through to Ohio and want to see it in person, lemme know and I’ll tell you how to find it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Here’s some Jeeps and a 6x6s.


Here’s some of the venders who are set up.


The other direction of the previous pic.


This is a 1908 Anderson (town where the museum is) It’s a two cylinder 14 horsepower engine with a 4 ¼ bore and a 4 inch stroke that displaces 113.5 cubic inches.

An airplane. About 10 years ago I walked into that propeller and whacked my head on the edge of a blade. That really hurt. I later told the story to a group of people, and one of them said, “Wow, was it running?” *Sigh* I thought. Didn’t they see what happened to the guy in Indiana Jones?

I took this picture because at the time we were discussing bayonets at Scrap Yard, and I believe it was Knife Party ? Who said he never knew bayonets were used on shotguns in war, so I took this picture of a manual for a M1897 model 12 gauge Winchester shotgun from WW II to show him.
