Kansas plan included stopping in Abilene for another presidential tour.  The Eisenhower museum and complex.

First up was breakfast at the Whistle Stop Café a 1/2 block from the Eisenhower complex.
 

  Ike in a classic pose.
 

  The Presidential prayer hanging where Ike and Mamie are interned.
 
Across the street from the Eisenhower Museum, was another HOF.

  Mike and Ginger.  Guess which one was a champion Greyhound racer.  Picture at the Greyhound HOF.
 

  Some of the various trophies given out in Greyhound racing.
 

  After leaving Abilene, I stopped in Russell, KS at the Oil Patch Museum.  a model of a derrick.
 

  Some equipment on the grounds at the museum.
 
This wrapped up 2 full weeks on the road.  Wednesday is an ambitious day.  We will see what I get done.
 
There is greyhound racing here in Jacksonville, but I've never been. And I always wondered where the Oil Patch Museum was......NOT!

ReplyDelete...I wonder if I could chain Mike to something so he is stuck in Denver long enough for me to get him into a Coors Brewery tour. ...'ta hail with the Rockies ball game and those $9 beers; go on a Coors factory tour and get FREE beer!!!
