Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Philks, you are gettign a peak at my best kept secret. The
ability to stimulate other posts.
I knew the name was Kit Carson museum, but in callign it Car Max from days
long gone by, look at all the good stuff that was brought out in the open.
Bear with me (pun intended) while I stimulate some more good info for you.
Enjoy!
