Littlefield Tank Collection

I was lucky enough to be invited to view the Littlefield Tank Collection. The collection is owned by Jacques Littlefield and is on his 500 acre property in Portola Valley. Basically, he likes tanks and so he has ~250 of them in a custom built facility (de-militarized of course). The pictures are here. My capsule review? "That's alot of tanks!" There aren't many places where you can park your car next to one of the propellers from the R.M.S Lusitania or point a Bazooka at one of your co-workers? The real treat is hearing the history of the various tanks (which is usually pretty grisly) - the gist of it is that being in a Tank in WWII was not a great job. On the other hand being chased by a tank was even worse!
