I only scanned 301 cards in April, and none in May, 2023. I didn't plan to scan any knowing there was a huge trip planned that would keep me away from home on May 1st. By time I got home from the trip I was too exhausted to do much of anything, including scanning, so I didn't scan anything in May at all. I saved the April upload to do on June 1st. 16 of the 301 cards were new people- almost all from the 2022-23 Upper Deck Series 1 box I got as a gift. I thought it was 17 but I misspelled a player's name and it turns out he wasn't new, so I blocked it out.

The longest road trip ever (part 1)
Sorry I have not posted much lately. My brother and I took the longest road trip we've ever been on, and it wasn't all good...I've been so exhausted, and so busy sorting and prepping the pictures, that I just haven't had the time nor inclination to write.
Over the two week period, I took more than 27,000 photos, which is more than I've taken in 35 full years of my life. Processing them has been a nightmare, too, because my laptop died on the second day of the trip, meaning I couldn't work on them at all.
We visited 10 museums on the trip, including one I've been wanting to go to for more than 20 years. Even though we got home on May 13th, the photos have not finished uploading to Fotki yet...
So, here we go. On Day 1, we left home in New York and drove to Dayton, Ohio.
This is Columbus
In Springfield, the skies opened up and we got heavy rain...that would be a near constant on our trip.
We went for the museum but...
we took the track tour first...
and actually got to get out and walk around on the track and see the bricks!
Kansas City, Missouri
Now in Kansas. I enjoyed Kansas more than I thought I would- I had heard it was just flat with nothing to look at but I found it enjoyable.

We drove through a brush fire...
The sunset in Kansas was beautiful.
Zoomed in.
We went to the American Numismatic Association Museum, which was a lot of fun.
That was the National WWII Aviation Museum.
to go to Furniture Row, which is not a museum per se, it's really a store, but it has a museum aspect as it has the 2017 Cup Championship car, 2011 Southern 500 Winner, and several other cars on permanent display. I included it in the Museum count. This is where we were heading when we had the accident. Furniture Row's NASCAR team was in operation from 2005-2017 and is the only team in my lifetime to win a race and not be based in North Carolina.
Yes, snow, in May!

I believe this is the first NASCAR model ever published in a magazine. built by Don Emmons in 1964.
Project Chevelle was a project by the Town of Newburgh Model Car Club, which was on the cover of Scale Auto Enthusiast magazine in 1990, and ended up being covered in magazines around the world!
