Murdo, SD

We took a detour through the Badlands National Park yesterday on our way from Sturgis to Murdo. We stopped at a few places along the way to enjoy the beauty of the land.






I thought that it would be a quick trip through the park, but we stopped at a few places and along with losing an hour crossing into central time, we didn't get to our campground until 5:30. The only Mass in town here is at 6:00 Saturday night, so we parked on the campsite and hurried up the street to Mass. It was raining when we got back and then a storm came through and knocked out most of the power in the park. It came back on before we went to bed.
Today I walked over to the Pioneer Auto Show museum and spent a few hours there. Their collection is mostly automobiles, but they have a lot of other stuff too.


An elephant to greet you near the front door.


Anyone who watches American Pickers will recognize this van.




A car with a wooden body




I hadn't realized that the Case tractor company also made cars. A 1915 Case.

 
This car of Tom Mix's was interesting to me because we had visited his museum before.


You really start to feel old when you see something that you used to repair in a museum. A betamax VCR.


How about a three wheel stage coach built on a VW chassis?


I hadn't seen one of these before. An antique self-adjusting crescent wrench.


A taxidermy two headed calf.


One of my favorite cars, the 1937 Cord.


They even had a motorhome made in the early 20s.

 
I took this one for Brendan so he would know that he has a museum quality antique.


I guess if Case can make cars, Lamborghini can make tractors.


No comment needed on the next three pictures.




And last, a reminder of home.
