How Ever Shall We Spend It All?

I've been plotting in Google Earth the various places I've traveled. Sometimes its harder than you think to find locations from the air, especially with hazy memories. I recently found Greenfield Village, which if you've never been I would recommend. It is creepy Americana all rolled up into a nice little party sausage. Basically the jist of it is that Henry Ford was crazy. But also crazy rich, so he bought various pieces of America and moved them to Dearborn, Michigan. I'm not talking about George Washington's wooden teeth and Abraham Lincoln's top hat. Think bigger. There's the Wright brother's workshop, across the street from the Heinz family house. Tripp Sawmill locally from Michigan, The Hermitage slave quarters from Georgia, Edison's Homestead from Ontario are all part of the menagerie. And that's not to mention all the stuff that was fabricated on site like the Steam Train, the Swiss Chalet and the circular river for his paddle wheel steamboat. Cray-zee. Anyway its a good time but I had no idea we were literally meters away from the Dearborn Ford Proving Grounds test track. You see the track in the picture and greenfield Village is the lump of buildings on the bottom left of it. I should've walked over there and saw if that was the day they were giving out free rides in un-released supercars.
