First off, we did NOT realize how far off the highway it was. Not too far, but farther than I've ever been in to Hood River. However, I really do recommend this museum. We both got student rates, so it was only $12 for us to get in. The first warehouse is full of old cars and planes and motorcycles. The second warehouse was full of old army jeeps and weapons and some newer cars, like a hummer. We even got to go into one of the planes! One of the museum staff asked if we wanted to see the cockpit, removed the rope, and pulled the "Do Not Enter" sign off the steps. That was pretty cool.
I thought the old bikes were awesome and Jeff was fascinated by the guns. My favorite part, however, was the kids section. All over there are signs to watch your kids, not to touch, etc. Only, there's this fenced off area where the museum build a submarine, helicopter, jeep, and a snowmobile out of random parts for kids to crawl all over. My favorite was the submarine, I think made out of old oil drums? I don't remember, but it had so many buttons on the inside!
Not only does this museum have tons of antique vehicles, they run, too! On certain days, they take them out and give rides. You can even sign up for a three-session workshop to learn how to drive a Model T. Did you know they have a gas lever on the steering wheel? Crazy stuff.
No pictures because we were pretty beat. But, it was fun!
