Today we wake to pouring rain and cold temps, we decide we do not want to ride in this. I decide to take advantage of the day off and do laundry. I gather up my clothes and head to the Laundromat. I get there, take off my rain gear and pull my laundry out of the plastic bags I use to keep them dry. While I am waiting on the washing machine the lady who works there strikes up a conversation with me. She had an interesting story, she was moving from Kansas to Washington when she stopped at this laundromat to do laundry and the owner offered her a job. That was 15 years ago, she likes the area so well she just stayed.
Well my laundry is done and I am bored to tears at the hotel, I go to the lobby to see what I can do in Rapid city. I ask the lady in the lobby what there is to see close to the hotel? "well,,A and A salvage has a museum, you might want to go there" A salvage yard, hmm,,I have my doubts but get directions anyway. Talk about a jewel of a find...I pull in and it is a salvage "junk" yard. ok,,lets check it out. I was amazed, if in Rapid city South Dakota,,,Go see this museum. You will see everything from old motorcycles, cars, a WWII half track,,even an old biplane.
