Today, I visited the General Patton Museum at Fort Knox Kentucky. I am posting a few pictures here. Have a look. . .
The first two pictures are some of the armored vehicles (tanks, etc.) that are displayed in the park outside the museum.
Of course, the second pic is of the entrance to the museum.
The third pic is General Patton's touring car. He died in a non-combat car accident in France (?) in December of 1945 after the war was over. The front end of the car was damaged severly in the accident but it was restored for display in the museum. They had lots of other artifacts that belonged to him on display in the museum. They also had a good 30 minute film about Patton's life and career.
The next pic is another tank that was on display inside the museum. They had lots of armored vehicles on display from many different countries.
The last picture is a quick photo of the US Gold Bullion Repository at Fort Knox. They don't give tours of this place (understandably), but I took this picture as I was riding along the highway beside it.

Hey Glenn ~ the pics are great! I agree with Beckie, looks like you do alot of "vacationing" and not alot of "working" . . . man, I need a job like that! HA. Glad you are getting a little bit out of all the traveling that you are required to do. Keep it up! C-Ya! :-) Nancy
