DAY 6 - PLATTE CITY, MO
May 19, 2014

We began the day with warm sunny weather as we head out to Harley Davidson for the factory tour.

American Made, since 1903

And then I said, "get on, hold tight, and shut up."

Selected employees can park their bikes right at the front door.

The Lucky Ones

We had time to drool over the new bikes and buy neat stuff in the gift shop before our tour. Looks like we have some potential "bikers" in this group.

Hey Good Looking. How about a ride?

We were able to get a couple of pictures of the factory, but only from their billboards because photography is not allowed in the plant. Everyone had a great time with super tour guides at HD. Remember everything that says HD comes in $100 increments!

Driving through the city we see some of the old unique architectural features as we move on to see the Ewing and Muriel Kauffman memorial gardens. BEAUTIFUL. Please note the gravestones. I guess Muriel didn't want anyone to know her age, even after she passed.

Tip Toe through the tulips.

Those aren't tulips. Oh Well, TipToe anyway.

Men don't care about their age.

Women do!!

Now it's on to lunch at the City Market with many good choices. A group of us headed for Kansas City BBQ at Winslow's. We obviously enjoyed it.

Plastic glasses and Styrofoam, our kind of place.

The sign looked good, where's the food?

We then walked to the Arabia Steamboat Museum. This was fascinating to say the least. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the tour as well as meeting one of the men who found and excavated the boat. Sure to be one of the highlights of the trip.
