Good pics thanks betty
ive been there but actually used a film camera and have no clue where that stuff is
Thx for all the pics Betty.
I had to chuckle seeing the horse gas mask - I have seen a pic of it before and somehow it looks real goofy!
Oh and yeah - bamboo helmet - great protection !

Nice pics. Thanks Betty. Always wanted a Win 97 in the trench mode. Looks to have been parkerized. Didn't get a chance to say "congrats" to you and the Mr. Now the work really starts. -------
Thanks for the pictures, I'd like to see that place in person some day.

Thanks for the pics, Betty!
Being a horse lover, that gas mask photo kinda gives me the creeps...can't (dont want to) imagine taking a poor dumb beast into that kind of environment

Betty,
I have been to Pigeon Forge many years ago but there was no museum then. Thanks for the pix, I enjoyed them. I may have had one of those WWII toy rifles. I remember having some type of toy rifle. Details are hazy now, but the pix sparked a memory. Thanks again.
