So, we traded that car for an acre of land on Highway 82 north of Tallahina, Florida.
That's not the land you still own it.
Tallahina, Oklahoma, I still own it.
No.
I would love to put a triumph on post so that for a landmark so I can find the darn thing.
It shall be done.
Highway 82 is a motorcyclist highway.
They like to ride it because it's near the Tallahina Scenic Drive, which goes from
Tallahina, Oklahoma, to Mina, Arkansas, and has beautiful, what they call mountains, they're
really big hills, but the season changed in the leaf.
So, you know, that's part of the interesting post provenance of the triumph.
That is a great story.
Nice post script.
