Pat and I made the drive to Denver yesterday to run an errand, but also to drop by the Forney Museum of Transportation because my brother had told me that Amelia Earhart's car is part of their collection. I'm a huge Amelia Earhart fan, so this was exciting for me! We did have to go to Pueblo first (another errand), which is the opposite direction down I-25 from Denver, so we definitely logged a lot of miles yesterday. After cruising 35+/- miles south to Pueblo, back northward on I-25 to Denver, then battling our way up I-225 and I-70 in dense Friday afternoon rush hour traffic, we made it to the museum exactly fifteen minutes before their 5:00 PM closing time and immediately made a beeline for her 1923 Kissel Gold Bug. Once we'd finished admiring it we had just enough time to make a quick circuit around the two main rooms, and I got some snaps of a few interesting automobiles before the museum closed. In addition to cars, there is a large and impressive collection of classic motorcycles, bicycles, some train cars, at least one helicopter and a light plane (no watercraft though, at least not what I saw). Obviously we will have to go back there another day when we have more time to spend.
Tomorrow is Sunday Style, but on Monday I'll share my pictures of Amelia Earhart's very cool car.
