Day 5 Odessa to Junction
Unusual- Steel bull in downtown Odessa
Unexpected-Petroleum Museum of the Permian Basin in Midland-I'm not going to label it Unusual, because it's not. However, some of it's contents are unexpected. I recommend you stop in.
Unusual-This rig was donated by Clint Eastwood Productions after they finished filming the movie "When Stars Fell on henrietta," starring Robert Duval,
Unusual-Water pump, but not one used in the oilfield, although the engine was a oilfield engine.
Unexpected-It might have been used in this antique laundromat.
Unexpected-second picture The future-I didn't expect to find this sentiment in an oilfield museum in the Permian Basin
Unexpected-Wide rims, the widest is at least 24" wide.
Unexpected-If you have rims, you probably have vehicles. They have many race cars and a brochure explaining why this particular team was so successful. The first to use ground effects on an Indy car.
Unexpected-Large Geode as well as other minerals and rocks. This one is probably 3' X 4'
Beautiful ones

Unusual-A caboose at the Railway Museum of San Angelo.
Unusual-A scale to weigh passenger luggage.
Unusual-Town name. I wanted to go there, but Easter dinner with family had priority.

Day 7, the last of this trip, coming up, along with more of how I got into a spiraling whirlpool with the ultimate destination being the cesspool of political comments, also known as "Off Topic."
