Motorcoaches and Spam

Steinbring Motorcoach, the dealer from whom we purchased our rv, holds a customer appreciation weekend on the weekend immediately following Labor Day. This event dovetailed nicely with the Rollag steam festival event. We visited with other Steinbring motorcoach and class B owners over the two days. We may have even influenced our next door neighbor in his purchase of a '22 New Aire. We got a ride in an antique Chris Craft runabout. We had the opportunity to check out a private car and tractor collection. Neither of us had seen orchard tractors prior to this. The low tractors had fins to help cut down on tree damage as the tractors drove through the groves. 

It's a banner day at Steinbring




Orchard tractors

Guess he likes orchard tractors too

Our next stop was Austin, MN. We had visited the Spam Museum back in 2010 and wanted to stop by again. They've built a new museum since our last visit. We smiled at all the Spam marketing stuff, from "Not all hogs go to Sturgis" t-shirts to Spam slicers (kind of like an egg slicer), keychains and flip flips that spell "Spam" when you walk, it's just kind of fun. Harold was disappointed that they were sold out of the Portuguese Sausage flavor. We did get to try the Tocino flavor which is only available at the Spam Museum and in the Philippines. Guess we'll have to try again another year.
