Visited for the first time yesterday, amazing museum. Discounted rate ($5) for seniors and some amazing Packard cars and other items. Packard also made aircraft engines in WW1, and WW2 as well as PT boat engines, and later even jet engines. The cars were amazing and most of them are in running shape. They are shown at a number of car shows around the US. The building seen at left is the original dealership in Dayton. Some of the cars have an amazing history. The car at very bottom for instance was the last car owned by the gangster Al Capone. If in Dayton for a visit, this is a must see and a wonderful place to explore the cars and other items from the era of Packard.

Around the Area (November 1, 2021)
A few fall photos and some other sights taken around the neighborhood. Some are at the local lakes near the house, others were taken at a favorite place - Carriage Hill Park. Went to see some sights there. On a motorcycle ride on Halloween went by the local airport in New Carlisle where I watched an old Ercoupe aircraft doing touch and goes.
Temperatures are really starting to fall, and the motorcycle season is soon coming to an end for the year. Beautiful fall color has finally come to the area, and have been enjoying that a great deal. Fall is my favorite season of the year.
