Went to the Studebaker Museum in South Bend first thing this morning. Very impressive facility and a very interesting collection of carriages (produced by Studebaker in the 19th Century) and Automobiles from 1900 to 1966, when they went out of business. A lot of information on the history of the company, it's successes and failures over the years, up to its final demise. The Museum is worth the trip. I'd give it an 8 out of 10.

I left South Bend around noon this morning and headed up to Milwaukee to the Harley-Davidson Museum in downtown Milwaukee. It's very interesting riding thru downtown Chicago early on a Friday afternoon before the 4th of July weekend, let me tell you! (Missed a turn...). Arrived a the "Mother Ship", the HD Museum that was opened just two years ago. I saw this in 2008 and really enjoyed the visit today. Rates a 9 out of 10!
