My wife thinks that name of that BBQ place was FAT BOYS. She is probably right. Well, FAT BOBS might have been a better name, giving it a Harley connection. At any rate, the museum took us two hours to tour. Here is the first installment of pics:
This museum has a local focus, but the time span ranges from the Cambrian to about the 1950's. Especially interesting are the oil industry exhibits and the reproductions of early habitations. It is really obvious in this area that an OIL BOOM is taking place. We saw several convoys of immense oil field equipment while on the road, and signs of boom times in every little community. Unfortunately, such prosperity has always been cyclical, part of a boom-bust cycle. There's no reason to believe that the current drilling binge will be any different.
