My Rain-Drenched Trip To Virginia -- Part Six -- Cooter's Place Dukes Of Hazzard Museum In Luray, VA

One of my favorite places that I stopped at in Virginia was Cooter's Place Dukes of Hazzard Museum just outside of Luray, Virginia.

The museum is one of several in the American South that houses artifacts and memorabilia dedicated to The Dukes of Hazzard, an American action-comedy television series that was aired on CBS from January 26, 1979, to February 8, 1985 -- and a personal childhood favorite show of this blogger.

Yours truly behind the wheel....and no I didn't crawl in
through the window. This was one of the original 1969
Dodge Chargers used on the television show. Truly a dream
come true for this Southern boy.

After leaving Cooter's Place (quite reluctantly) I made my way back west towards the small town of New Market, Virginia and my final stop on this rain drenched trip to Virginia, which I will conclude in my next blog post. 

My Rain-Drenched Trip To Virginia -- Part Five -- The Car And Carriage Caravan Museum, Luray, VA

After finishing my tour of Luray Caverns, I decided to visit one of the most popular sites on location. The Car and Carriage Caravan Museum features an impressive collection of over 140 items relating to early transportation including a Conestoga wagon and an 1892 Mercedes-Benz, one of America's most outstanding displays of rare vintage vehicles, as well as one of the country's oldest transportation museums.

As a classic automobile lover, I truly enjoyed the walking tour of this outstanding automotive museum. My next stop on my return trip would also feature another classic automobile -- or rather one of several iconic vehicles that took me back to my childhood, which I will talk about in my next blog post.
