On the road again headed for Allen Park Michigan. Wade's from Michigan I bet he has seen this sight we are going to. This was an attraction at the 1964-65 New York's World Fair. It was a ride and 2 million people rode it. WOW!!!!!! We are on the road that leads to THE WORLD LARGEST TIRE. Get those camera's out we are here. Click, snap, flash and a lot of ohs,ohs and wows. This baby weighs 12 tons and is 80 feet tall. How would you like to change that tire if it went flat??
Ok, back on the bus and by the way this bus is very old but it will get us to our next destination. Look out Georgia here we come. Flora lived in Georgia a short time ago but moved back to Oklahoma. Who's back there drinking beer on my bus?? I think it's that man from Michigan a voice calls out. That's alright but no throwing your empties out on the road. Someone shouts out, " Look at that GIANT PEANUT MONUMENT over there in ASHBURN, Georgia." Amazing isn't it guy??
Anyone need to go to the bathroom?? You better go while we are here, the next stop is a long ride to Minnesota, land of the VIKINGS. Night time as the bus travels across the highways and interstates as the people are heard snoring and complaining. Are we there yet??? No it's another 100 miles. Wake up you sleepy heads I see old Paul Bunyan up ahead. Man you can't miss that monster can you?? Paul is located in Akely, Minnesota. Everyone is out of the bus taking photos. They found that it's a great photo op to have their photo taken while sitting in Paul's hand.
Man, I'm tired and hungry lets stay here and rest up before we hit the road again in a few days.
