Several Decades ago, the Shell Oil Company, put out a number of card series. They also sold albums to put these cards in. Everytime you went to Shell for petrol, or anything else, they gave you some cards. The idea was to collect the whole lot, and generally they were most obliging in allowing you to go through the box, to get the cards you were missing.
I only have the Transport Card series left, the others have been long thrown out.
I have scanned each page. This is the final part, part 2.
Yellowstone. Biscuit Basin. Shell Spring (of course, being a spring, it erupts continuously. That's because there is no constriction in the path of water from underground up)
I came home from a walk to find A had been doing a lot of tidying and dusting, and rearranging a large collection of stones and shells on one of our windowsills. This was one of his mini-installations.
I will never forget how this shell landed in my possession. Our family took a trip to the Bahamas and we usually ended up off of the beaten path. We rented a car and explore the island and ended up on a dead end road that ended at a small stretch of beach. We got out to look around and saw this very tan, weathered man with long hair. As soon as he saw us he quickly turned and disappeared into his house. My dad said we should probably go. By the time we were in the car and looked up he was standing in front with a large bucket in one hand and a shell in the other. He was such a nice man. The experience was the gift of a lifetime. The shell is just a bonus.
The heavy shells hung from rails and were brought here to the hoist, to be lifted to the gun level. The hoist is being restored.
At Battery Pensacola. This is a reinforced concrete coastal defense battery completed in 1899 to guard the entrance to Pensacola Bay. The two 12-inch (305 mm) guns in disappearing mounts originally installed were removed in 1934. It's located inside old Fort Pickens. Closed in 1947 together with the fort itself, it's now a historical relic. Near Pensacola, Florida.

The day we stopped by the Ehler farm to see this MM-1210 was quite an exciting day. They had several older John Deere's, Internationals, Case's, a Massey as well as a few other tractors all plowing corn ground. This is the first sheller my Grandson had ever seen up close.
