We just got back from Kasota, Minnesota where we drove a 16-ton tank (or correctly called a self-propelled gun), learned about military history, and saw some great fully automatic rifles at its indoor shooting range. We didn't this time but you can also drive a 60-ton Chieftan tank through a car.

 Drive a Tank was a great experience. I put a video camera in my hat and hope to post it in the videos section. Tony who runs Drive a Tank taught me about the tanks and what goes into making these British machines run. It's hard to find American tanks. This is one of his side businesses they also work in heavy metal fabricating and machining used in quarry equipment. So they can make and fabricate just about anything. Tony is self taught and very knowledgeable about military vehicles. He has more than what's in this picture. There is also an indoor shooting range where you can shoot all the guns you see in the movies and on the battlefield. Nice to see the right to keep arms is still being exercised.  I'd recommend Drive A Tank for bachelor or bachelorette parties. It's also good for corporate events and educational field trips.

Tomorrow we're taking a tour of McNeilus in Dodge Center, Minnesota.
