Saturday 9/24/22 was a pretty nice day up here, give or take a few wild fires. We decided to head to Hood River Oregon to visit the Western Antique Airplane and Automobile Museum again. Forget Disneyland, this is the happiest place on earth.

If anyone wants something to do when visiting the Mother-ship, Hood River is about 50 miles east of Portland on I-84 along the Columbia River.

In the summertime they take things out and fly them on the second Saturday of each month. They also host a pretty big fly-in in early September. In the not too distant future they will be selling rides in their Ford Tri-Motor.

The day we were there they were offering their learn to drive a Model T event. There were 4 or 5 Model Ts putting around the field. Kinda looks like fun, I may do that next year.

I had a data storage device error so I lost all of the video that I shot on the way down and back, but here are some photos I took.

The video of the museum, I just held my camera out while I walked up and down each row, is below. I was trying to get video of everything they have on display and I think I got most of it.
