So, after two days stuck in Jackson Wy. airport with no end in site, I rented a Nissan Frontier (it was all they had with 4x4 and it was blizzard conditions) and headed to Salt Lake City to catch a red eye back to the east coast.
. I head out into the snow and it quickly turns to rain, yeah! I am about a half hour outside of SLC and the drive was not bad. My fortune has changed and things are looking up. Rain has stopped and I look over and see this.
It makes me think, I have just finished a week long hunt with my brother and friends in WY. We had a great time and life is really not that bad. So the last two days of your life have been a total waste just sitting in an airport being strung along by
American Airlines! I can deal with a red eye and I have arrived in SLC without too much hassle. Then a passing thought goes through my head......Isn't the Landcruiser museum out here somewhere? And by "out here" I am referring to the western states. I had no clue. At this point, I have about 11 hours to kill before my flight. I google it and am absolutely floored that it is in SLC!!
I hit directions and in 34 minutes, I am at the door.
It is a very inauspicious entry to the sole reason for me to have continued breathing for the last two days! Inside was amazing!
Row after row of amazing Landcruisers from all over the world. If you have never been, it is worth the trip and don't skimp on the time allotment. It is a truly awesome and Dan is a fantastic care taker. He was so helpful and informative. Not to mention he put up with my giddy ass bouncing around the place for about 3 hours! Sooo many cool trucks. My favorite was the FJ28 LVA. So cool and it looks like the little brother to my LV!
Then there was the 43 with a half hard top and half soft top? Crazy. Then all the 55's that had been made into wreckers and fire trucks. The beautiful 60's Then the whole 70 line up was a treat. The Mega Crusiers were pretty cool. I could go on and on but you need to go see them for yourself all 90+ of them.
