Pirates World was a real theme park, yes. Sadly, like the US manufacturing industry it hasn't existed since the mid-70s.

Man, Friend 14 is going to probably pass near so many weird local museums and theme parks as he journeys through cornland and the shitstates. Even in the glorious Commonwealth of Virginia (the tyrantkiller state, Better Than NC(tm) etc.) we have fake safari parks, creation museums, and something featuring a statue of a cowboy riding a velociraptor. I can only imagine what exists in places like Kenturkey/Kentrucky.

gently caress, that reminds me... the Garlits museum is right there in Ocala. I've never been myself, but it feels like a worthy stop along the Fury Road, or at least on 14's way back home.

I think Dave ought to spend some time perusing his options here: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/location/ . There's a whole country full of bizarre roadside attractions awaiting his eager attentions.

Edit: I bet he would genuinely get a kick out of the International Towing & Recovery Museum:

If I remember correctly, there was also an insane "toy museum" co-located with that place. It was nothing but rooms full of 80's garbage on sitting on open shelves, guarded only by an ancient church lady.

I drive 80% of the Virginia stretch of I81 twice a week, I should revisit this national treasure.

Worth it. We stopped on our way back to Virginia when I was stationed there 'just to look' and ended up making it so I got no sleep before work the next day.

It sounds like one of the front wheel cylinders needed to be replaced, not because of age, but due to it being somewhere in a field covered in snow in Nebraska.

Napa, dude. They had like 75% of the stuff for the 61 c10 on the shelf when I went to get it running a couple weeks ago. Unless you had been there and they still don't have 80s 5.0 parts and if so wtf?

I sent you twenty bucks. I'd send more quail eggs but I don't anticipate you being there long enough to get them :dance:

Please let us know the details of the route as soon as you have it planned. I own some vacant rental properties in western Illinois and know some cool guys down in Southern Illinois that would be able to put you up for a night or two. If you're passing near enough to either region, you might be able to hop over and enjoy a warm place to sleep and, you know, not the omnipresent noise of the exhaust steadily eroding your eardrums.

Napa has zero parts for my early 90s Dakota. Oreillys is the only store that helps me put these days.
