In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Coleman Therater & Motorcycle Museum; Miami, OK


































Today we drove to Miami (pronounced Miami-ah) Oklahoma and spent over an hour touring the Coleman Theater. It opened in 1929 and was built by a well digger who discovered lead & zinc, bought the land & mineral rights and was making $1M a month. He married a gal 30 years younger & she tired of taking the train to New York City to see a play or famous performers so hubby built her a theater & brought the shows to her. The guide had lots of interesting stories.
We then checked out a bike museum that had several beautifully restored British bikes, a stock 1917 Harley & the dirt bike hanging from the ceiling was Steve McQueen's favorite. Good little museum.
My complaining about the weather in yesterday's blog brought out the sun for a few hours today.
