Southside RV Park June, 15 2013

Southside RV Park is a very quiet, friendly and clean park own by Tim & Janet Gore.   It is an unusual RV park with museum-quality collection of WWII vehicles and memorabilia own by their son Derek Gore.  Derek has a web site @ goresmilitarymuseum.m.webs.com.  They also have a restoration/preservation shop and they specialize in protecting military history.  They receive items by either buying them, or donation, and put them on display for all to enjoy.   We also took a short walk to Sparky's Garage for food.  They did remove the grease racks.  Check out the pictures and see what we saw or check out his web site.
