Spider Car is nightmare fuel! Plus Dinosaurs & Tanks at the General Patton Museum
Are The Dinosaurs OK after the earthquake? I had to find out! But these dinosaurs aren't the only giant artistic creature haunting the desert of southern California... This SPIDER CAR is nightmare fuel! On my way from LA to Phoenix the Peewee Dinosaurs in Cabazon were always a must, but one thing we never did was visit the George S. Patton Museum - the sign would flash by in the night, but we always kept on driving. Now I'm righting the wrong by paying a visit this amazing museum full of Tanks!! Another Randomland Adventure!
