Dwayne Returns to Fort Knox
Dwayne decided to break up the trip back to Kansas into two days. He headed off to Fort Knox, Kentucky to spend the night. The US Bullion Depository is located there which is where billions of dollars in gold are stored for the US and other countries. Lately, some of these countries such as Germany have decided to repatriate much of the gold they have stored there. Rumor once had it that the vaults at Fort Knox were empty. However, it appears as if there is some gold there. President Trump sent out the Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchen to see there was gold in the vault and he verified gold was there and that it is well protected.

Dwayne went to the Patton Museum after a good night's sleep and discovered it was closed due to renovations anticipated to be completed by Veteran's Day. Prominent among the many armored vehicles on display in front of the museum was an M60A1 tank. You know you are an old soldier when the weapon system you served on during most of your career is now a museum piece. Dwayne will try to visit the museum again when he and his son are on vacation next spring following the Bourbon Trail. The ride back to Kansas was long and uneventful.
