Explore Hwy 51 Wisconsin 2011 Day 1

Hello trip followers!

We began our journey on Hwy 51 in Beloit. We visited the Historic Auto Attractions - A Journey Through Time, which was a museum filled with artifacts and automobiles from real life and from the movies and TV. We saw the National Lampoon's Vacation movie car, Bonnie and Clyde's bullet ridden car from the movie, the Sanford and Son pick up truck, the Batmobile car from the TV series, and Freddie Flinstone's car from the movie. There were also some historic automobiles and other items. Visit this website for more information: www.historicautoattractions.com
Here is Susan with the Flinstones car.

We also did some exploring in downtown Beloit. We saw some nice old buildings with lots of character. Here is one faced in green colored stone (marble?) that we really liked.

Beloit is bisected by the Rock River. Riverside Park is a lovely park with a great view of the river.

There is a riverwalk that goes by and underneath this replica of a train engine that is sitting on top of the pedestrian bridge.

Tomorrow we start our journey northward. See you then from Stoughton.
Susan and Denis
