Back From Detroit

Ford Model "T"

The original Kenneddy car
Some early motorcycles
The town center
Driven from southern Chile to Dearborn, Michigan
The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are well worth the trip. The museum complex houses some of the rarest and best collection of cars, planes, inventions and memorabilia from the days of Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and the Wright brothers and beyond. Things you will see nowhere else. An incredible collection from all over.

Sharon and I left home on the K1200LT at 6:30am on Friday and headed to the Lewiston bridge to get into Canada and head toward Detroit, Michigan. We hit some rain on the way, but as we neared Detroit, the sun came out and stayed that way until we left to come home on Sunday. We went direct to the Marriott (the worst Internet connection ever) on the outskirts of Detroit and checked in.

Saturday morning we headed over to the Museum to spend the day exploring all it had to offer, and it was a lot! After a full day at the museum, we found a great Irish Pub where they offered some exceptional Prime Rib and cold beer.

On Sunday we headed back home and the closer we got to New York, the crappier the weather got, but the trip to the Henry Ford Museum is definately a trip you want to make. Go to the "Photo Gallery" to see the rest of the pictures.
