Checking out new and interesting things.

I have come to the conclusion that I am getting way to staid in my way of thinking and doing things, I need to be more adventurous and branch out to see new things. So I have decided to take field trips on my own every week or so just to get some of the creative juices flowing.

Today I heard about a small bluegrass festival in Wallsburg, Utah,  about an hour from here.  On the Erickson Ranch.

Richard W. Erickson is a collector of all sorts of things machinery especially, and he has bunches of it built a small village around it and has a foundation to take care of it.

There are whole buildings of period collections, a church, a general store, garages, houses with everything you may have found in them in the 30's or 40's or 50's.

He especially loves machinery of all types, cars, train engines, motor cycles, of which there are over 100 and many of them have been restored and to a functioning condition. 

What an amazing collection of all sorts of stuff. 

Some big, some small, an amazing reference on the past.

He has a print shop with this typeface cabinet, I thought the slanted drawers were pretty unique.

I was just in awe walking around looking at everything.

​

Then as added icing on the cake there was really fun Blue Grass music too.
These guys were some jammers in between groups and they asked the audience for a name and someone shouted Mudsuckers and they were really good!

A fine day all around!
