On a regularly scheduled weekend dirt bike ride out into the woods of Vermont, we came across Post Mills Airport<\/a> home of the Post Mills Soaring Club<\/a> and Brian Boland\u2019s Museum of Curiosities<\/a>. Brian is known for his hand-made hot air balloons but he has also done some other cool stuff with the property. There is a collection of various flying things that generally get strapped to a hot air ballon but some have their own props for directional travel. There\u2019s a homemade double decker bus, old motorcycles, cars, wicker baskets, a polaroid collection, beer bottles going back decades and a row of barber chairs for watching the planes & gliders take off.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s Vermontasaurus<\/a> a volunteer built dinosaur that hangs 25 feet over the ground. It did collapse at some point and parts of it were re-built. From certain angles, it looks like a dinosaur and from others, it just looks like a scrap of wood ready to be burned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tor really complete the picture, there\u2019s also a piano ready to be played to set the mood as you see gliders & small airplanes take off and land. It\u2019s sort of this weird magical place close to my home and just one of those cool Vermont things. The entire life-blood of this project is Brian himself and his special nature of being super creative and it brings me back to the fond memories I had hanging out with Burners in the Bay Area. He\u2019d do well on the west coast but Vermont is lucky to have him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
