Cloud Museum and a fine layer of dust

Jan 28/17  Weather sunny 75 high low 52

Johnny Cloud cruising around his museum talking to the patrons

There was a small brochure at the park office when we checked in that interested Billy so we thought we would go take a look today.  It is not far from Yuma about 10 miles into California near a little village called Bard.  We looked on Roadside America which often lists obscure and unusual places but did not see it in their listing.  After we spent a few hours at the personal museum of Johnny Cloud; we just might have to tell Roadside America about the place.  It definitely should be on their site...... and the American Pickers would have a ball at this place!

 A long time Bard, California resident who began the collection in 1989. The collection includes cars, trucks, tractors, power tools, hand tools, household equipment, boat engines, wheels, items from local businesses including the old Bard Post Office, plus many more items too numerous to mention. The collection is vast, overwhelming, well organized, and incredibly impressive.  Oh and the fine layer of dust on everything is free!
