I saw this on Roadside America yesterday on the main page and decided since tomorrow was an important historical event to share it today – Road Trip To The Moon https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/65747.
Normally, I would link to other sites, but the number of links in the above link (which I copied below) makes that a lot less appealing. On the plus side, if I ever run out of Space Saturdays posting ideas, there are a bunch in this post as I have only covered a handful previously:
