Jeez, I hope you didn't have your turn signal on the whole trip.
I love getting "lost" and exploring areas I haven't been or haven't been to in a long time. I was in Dayton a couple years ago for a meeting and learned about those dams, very interesting concept and execution.
That hearse sounds funky. I think we all need to chip in and get you a forum digital camera for all these cool vehicles and sites you come across!
I'm looking forward to the rest of the story.
