Stop 18 - Road Trip (Indiana)
















While driving through Indiana, I saw a blue sign highlighting a local tank museum. As a good member of the armed forces and a man who loves firepower, I decided to exit the highway. After a few miles of driving through beautiful farmland, I came upon a man's farm that was filled with giant hulks of metal. As a five-year-old in a candy store, I enjoyed climbing on tanks, learning history by experience, and testing the weapons (unloaded of course, see picture above) Local workers who restored the vehicles at the farm told many fantastic stories. Engineers in past wars improvised huge leaps in technology to assist the survival of the US against numerous opponents. On a larger scale, I am thankful for God's fantastic engineering skills that allow the earth to sustain life and catapult around the sun.
