Wheels through Time

This museum is amazing! They have so much stuff…just sitting there waiting to be restored. A crated 45 engine! Check out the tires on the WLA trike. There is a snow ski board, the first jet ski, a mine cart, some kind of grass cutter, a snow blower, couple more yard tools and a mean looking ice saw, I couldn’t believe the list of American made motorcycles, hard to believe there were that many. Check out the side-by-side bike for two…and Niceville makes the map. Really an amazing museum.

Day 7 North Carolina

Now in NC and needing gas and stopped at this little station in Nathan’s Creek. There is no place for my credit card?  These are some old pumps! Filled up and headed to Maggie Valley to visit Wheels through Time museum. Stopping for lunch before the museum I stopped in the Buttered Biscuit. Even though it was 1230 they offered breakfast and lunch. I opted for lunch but the loud talker next to me made it clear to all he wanted breakfast and he wanted French toast!  The patient server who was dealing with this guy simply said “sir, I can get you the toast but I can’t get you the French. Whaaaa? I love traveling, there is always something weird.

Day 7, leaving Virginia

It’s hard to believe a week has passed and it is time to head home already.

 The first picture is Wytheville’s famous “Big Pencil.” It’s about 30 feet long and basically marks the office supply store. This is followed by some pics as I leave Virginia. A couple if things about Virginia, radar detectors are illegal, the cops don’t take to speeders (very active) most churches seemed to be called “New Hope,” there are a lot of tree farms, is the sign says ”falling rocks” believe it! Also, if you have allergies this is a rough time to be here.
