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.

TinkerTown


























































































Sunday we went to church, had lunch at Burger Boy & then spent a couple hours at Tinker Town Museum. The museum was started in the 1960s by a guy who liked to whittle figures out of wood. It grew from there over the years. There are hundreds & hundreds of figures in all sorts of settings; circus, boot hill, side show, blacksmiths, saloons, etc. Several are animated & move. The creator wasted nothing, anything he collected (junk or not) was somehow incorporated into his museum constructed from many shacks in very hilly terrain. We visited a similar museum in Anita Springs, LA so I asked about it and was told that it's builder had visited Tinker Town 20+ years ago and wanted to start his own in LA.
The weather was very pleasant and we spent some time getting ready to leave in the morning. One other very special event happened......Devyn called and we both had a wonderful talk with her, a very special event indeed.
