Howdy! Joe,

In a Email I wrote to You I suggested that You stop at Fort Knox Army Base
to see the Tanks at the Patton Museum as Your were on Your way Northbound towards my area.

After You arrived safely at Home I looked at the Fort Knox web site and
learned the Tanks aren't in their Museum anymore.

The Museum is about General Patton and has items he owned but No Tanks.

The Tanks are in a Museum at Fort Bennings Army Base in Georgia.

I looked at the Fort Bennings web site but couldn't see how to click on
a link to look at their Museum, if they have one there.

If You had took the advice I gave You about taking a side trip to the
Fort Knox Base You would have been thinking about Me and my advice?

My Dad took us Boys to The Patton Museum when we were very young.
I remember climbing down a Tank Hatch, looking around and when I wanted to climb up the ladder one of my feet got caught between two spring loaded
pieces of metal (doors?), I tugged and tugged but I couldn't get my foot
out of that.

So I cried HELP! and my older Brother came down and pressed both of the
metal pieces down and I got my foot out and climbed out of that Tank.

I am thinking what I got my leg caught in was a compartment to put a Fired Shell Caseing in after the Ammo was used. ?

I am glad You didn't take My advice to go look at the Tanks.

That is too bad. I have been down there multiple times since I was a kid
to see the museum and tanks. Last time was probably in the early or mid 1990's, though. Was thinking I needed to go back sometime soon but I
wonder what all they have to look at if all of the tanks are gone.

IIRC, some of the tanks were not US tanks... I think they had at least one Panzer down there.

Nope, neither.
I was wanting to but didn't. Mostly I just wanted a selfie in front of
Ft. Knox. But I doubt anyone is allowed near that big pile of gold. :)

I'm glad Joe didn't take my suggestion for a side-trip to Fort Knox.

I remember seeing German Tanks there too.

Note: I had a Reply already written to You but MultiMail DOS didn't save
the REP so I'm writing it again.

These are the URL's I had in the first message:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Knox

https://www.knox.army.mil/

On that page is an article about the Base open to the public at 5 PM on
July 4, 2019.

The page has links on the right side of the page to:

Fort Knox Installation Access Control
&
ID Requirements for Entering Fort Knox

There is a Link to The Patton Museum at Fort Knox on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_George_S._Patton_Memorial_Museum

These are links to Fort Benning:

Hope this helps.
