If Memory serves me isn’t that the one that he sold pretty early and was lost for quite a while.
His car tastes have always been something interesting to me. I love that old panel he had.

Lol I don’t really count as southwest i did originate about 12 hours from Memphis:lol:

Every true car guy knows about the Volo Museum.

I subscribed to Hemmings back in the late 70's up through the 80's and Volo was in there a lot.

Writing this reminds me I bought my 61 Lincoln Convertible through Hemmings. I loved that magazine ... What we used before the internet (and the little five center want ads)

Eric, it was great to finally meet the man, the myth, the legend, Cheyenne Super finder. I mean Chevyland. :lol:

It's always a great time at Leon's place
He has a great collection and is a great host. Enjoy the rest of your trip Eric. Take some pics out in Utah if ya would please. :lol:

Hey you guys,
Thanks for inviting me into your part of the world
Leon, I hope you find time to set up your train trip
(Don’t wait to long) your hobbies will still be there when you get home
Thanks for dinner ;)
Ryan, enjoy every moment with those kids, before you know it, they will all be out of the house
And, next time I’m through, let me go with you to that barn to see if the orange and white truck has a legitimate spid:exit:

I let her out when I arrived
She loves to see it all
As you can see, there was a lot to explore
But it’s hard to have good conversation
When you are worrying
‘Where did my emotional support dog go’ ?
…………….:haha:……………..

Went here before I got to Leon’s yesterday

http://www.friendsofcedarrock.org/new-page

It is about as good as it gets for a FLW
Original building
Basically the same as it was when it was built 70 years ago

Lots of interesting stuff out there. Here is the Museum I wanted to take you to about an hour North of me.

Be sure and read the captions under the different sections.

This is an interesting one. I am not familiar with it. Clearly there were priorities that drove the design. It looks to be a place that was designed for people to entertain quite a bit during the summer months. A lot of effort to use natural ventilation and screening, including the vines. Wasn't too sure about it, but that neat little secret boat launch sold me on it, haha.

Got my entry permit for
Rocky Mountain National Park last minute

I never thought of it, but was right where the Colorado River originates
Just a small little stream
I have spent quite a bit of time exploring it where it ends many miles away

I exited the park on the south west side
Very remote, but saw some great fall colors the rest of the day
Zig zagging across the river as it gained steam
And ended up camping on it

Dieselwrencher 09-28-2021 10:25 AM

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 
Curtb1971, awesome shop and I really dig the organization. I'm not sure what that's like. :lol:

Very cool camping spots Eric! It definitely has more water in it than all of our waters and streams combined currently.

I had never heard of Grand Mesa before
Turned off the freeway
Decided to take the look—Might as well do the loop
Took up 1/2 the day
But …..well worth it with all the fall colors coming in
