Antique Archaeology, LeClaire, Iowa





"Antique Archaeology, LeClaire, Iowa". "American Pickers" on the History channel with Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz, & Danielle Colby. My fave was always Danielle, love all her tats & her silly fun attitude. 

The hubby & I when we had cable would always catch the show, now that the cable is not around any more, only rabbit ears here folks, we have the chance to see any episodes we missed thanks to Netflix. 

The saddest part of going to see this place, was that fact that none of the people from the show we around to say hey or whatnot, 2nd that what they show you on the tv episode is not what you will see when you visit their place of business there in Iowa, nope ... sorry folks it is all for show. not real. WHAT??!!!? We recently when to their Nashville, Tennessee location & it was so much more huge of a building, way more people visiting too, I will be sharing that soon. Beth ( :

Not aware of the TV programme, but it certainly looks like an intriguing place; one to linger in.

That is one of my husband's favorite shows. We have The Canadian Pickers here in Canada. One of the fellows from that show came into the gallery while my husband was hosting. He was thrilled. Looks like a fun place to visit. Love that car!

That old car is pretty cool. I don't get to see those shows as we only have 3 channels on an antenna but may have a look at Netflix sometime. Have a super weekend Beth.

Isn't it a shock to find out how much of TV is illusion?

I suppose that is the way of a lot of what we see on most of the shows. Reality shows are anything but reality, it seems. That must have been disappointing, Beth. I watch that show occasionally and have enjoyed it when I did, for the most part, but that is a bit of a let-down.

Hi Beth, looks like a fun place to visit. I like the old vintage signs and the flag. Have a happy weekend!

I like that show! But the popularity quickly makes the business grow and get crowded. I've heard that the store for Pawn Stars has long lines waiting to get in.

I've wanted to stop at either store and hope to someday. I think it's just cool to just visit and maybe find something to take home.

Too bad you could not meet any of them...but guess they were out picking...

We watch that show all the time. That's a bummer that the store isn't like what they show on television and that you didn't get to meet any of them.

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get ...

Here is her bloggy link if you would like to see her outstanding photography: "East Gwillimbury CameraGirl, Exploring Central Ontario (CANADA) ... and beyond" . We both shared such a love for travel & photography. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, great "CameraGirl", RIP! ( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you...
