I have my nephews in 2 Saturdays, is it worth a road trip from Kansas City?
Last road trip was sac museum in Ashland (where I did my PLDC and BNCOC training in the army in the 1990’s)

Never been there. That’s a haul from KC though.

10.5 hours from my house to the parents in Jc.
I used to drill in Des Moines and Iowa city Iowa for 9 years 14 hours from my house in east Texas. I drive a fk ton.
I am retired and get bored easily.

I haven't had the time to stop by when I've been by it, but there is a decent collection of gear.

At this point in time, are you of the opinion that nothing that's come out about Andy or his wife should be looked into in regards to conflict of interest, or, regarding his wife, quid pro quo shenanigans?

Never been but in your shoes I’d hit the SAC museum and the Omaha Zoo. I don’t know if that’s worth the trip from KC.

Edit: didn’t see you did the SAC already.

Driven past it a bunch of times but never stopped.

I would highly recommend the SAC museum.

Another surprising one if you are by North Platte is the Golden Spike Tower. It’s amazing to see the scale of the rail yard and watch the sorting.

It would be a better and much shorter trip to the SAC museum near Ashland, NE

ETA I guess you’ve been there. How about the Cosmosphere near Hutchison?
