Yesterday,June 7,I had the time to finally stop and see the Ropkey armor museum,located in Crawfordsville,IN. I called ahead and asked if I could park my rig there to see the place. They said no problem as they had big rigs in there before to deliver vehicles.

They were surprised at how long mine is. It was tight getting in there. :eek:hmy: I took some pix. They have a Jeep with a 75mm recoiless rifle.
