Mile: 100,970

This is one of the best days of the year, the annual Connecticut Antique Machinery Association Open House. The have a swap meet, hundreds of tractors and old equipment and much much more. Action Jackson first had to meet up with Papa for a little fuel up at his favorite donut shop. Then it was off to the show with Ole Red running smooth and straight! Jackson got to mine for minerals, watch the wind up and steam model trains (his favorite), see some dinosaurs, watch an old steam shovel, watch dozens and dozens of tractors and engines, have a little apple pie and that was only the first hour! If you are ever in Kent, Connecticut at the end of September this is a must see. They even have steam train rides too! See ya on the road soon!
