We Arrive at Hickory Corners, Michigan and the Gilmore Museum

We woke up to quite a different morning this morning with temperatures of 62 degrees and a steady westerly wind blowing to further cool things down.  I put a sweatshirt on to try to keep warm.  We had a relatively "easy day" planning about 150 miles to our destination near Kalamazoo, Michigan.

We continued driving west on route 20 and within about 30 minutes we were in Indiana.  More rolling farmland greeted us with corn, soybeans and wheat being the primary crops.  Turning north we headed for Michigan and the clouds started getting darker!  We went through a little bit of a rainstorm but it was no big deal.  Stopped for a gas fill up around 10:30 AM and saw another Amish buggy go by the gas station.  We've seen many horse drawn Amish buggies, wagons and plows on this trip.

We arrived at the Gilmore Museum in Hickory Corners, MI at approximately 11:30 AM and saw a few other Model A Fords in the parking lot.  These were the very first Model A's we have seen since leaving Massachusetts.  The museum is absolutely fantastic - the buildings and the automobiles are all first class and well executed.

We had a chance to repair the punctured inner tube from Jack's car when the management allowed to us to use their garage.  They had everything we needed and we were able patch the inner tube and put the repaired tire back on the car in about 30 minutes.

We have more to see tomorrow because we had to leave by 5 PM.

We are staying at a Comfort Inn in Kalamazoo and had a great italian dinner at a restaurant right across the street with Dick and Mazie Stitt.  They had been visiting their son, daughter-in-law and grand daughter in Cincinatti. they drove to "Kzoo" today and will go to the museum tomorrow also.
