A truck lovers must

For some time I’ve always wanted to see the iowa80 truck stop and museum. On a trip from GA-MT, finally made it. If you are a truck enthusiast, it’s a must see! Museum is spotless and has an amazing display.

Rainy day excursion

We spent an hour or so reminiscing about the old trucks we used to drive on the farm in southern Indiana. Was great fun. Very impressed with the refurbishing of all the trucks--so shiny!!!! Enjoyed it very much.
