Colonial Heights, VA, Truck Museum

 Cloudy day, very little sun, but there were a few moments.  Easy drive up through NC.  Some 2 lane scenic roads, some 4 lane US Highway and the rest was Interstate 95.

We are at the Keystone Truck and Tractor Museum in colonial Heights, VA just south of Richmond.  They have 10 Harvest Host sites in the back lot that are either boondocking (us) or with power and water for $35.  Looks like this may be the night we run the heat again.  It hasn’t run for several nights now.  There are 2 Class A coaches here, but they are unoccupied.  We have the place to ourselves.  It was a full house last night and will be again tomorrow night.  Luck of the draw!

The museum is about 3 acres of indoor exhibit.  Rooms full of vintage trucks, tractors, cars and related memorabilia.  We spent 2 hours in there and probably laid eyes on everything but certainly didn’t really see it all.  this will be on our list of places to come again when the travel path brings us near here.  And we usually go by Richmond on most of the north or south routes.

We have almost 100 photos from the museum, I’ll put a small amount on here.  Just enough for the flavor of the place.
