    There is a small 'oasis' type of structure on interstate 44 in the Vinita, OK area. Used to be 'the glass house' restaurant. Now it holds a McDonalds, Subway, gift shop and a gas station.

    Slight correction: That is the Batcycle made initially for the 1966 feature film adaptation of the Adam West TV series, and then subsequently used for said TV series after the movie left theaters. The TV show had its own variation of the Batcycle (which was used on loan and therefore got featured in only one episode, titled "Not Yet He Ain't"), with less visual flair and looking more like just a plain old motorcycle with some "bat" themed highlights whereas the feature film's increased studio budget allowed for more bodywork to be done for the Batcycle seen at this auto museum.

    I was maybe five or six when I first went to the Volo auto muesem, specifically to see the Batmobile. I even dressed up in my Batman costume. So we were talking pictures, when the owner saw this, and offered to let me sit behind the wheel. Still one of my treasured childhood memories.

    I remember the first rest stop my group got at in Switzerland. It didn’t sit on top of the highway (there was one in Italy I saw, never went in, that was like that) but on the top floor restaura (it was like 2-3 floors) that gave the illusion of that feeling

    1:32 My best friend had that similar situation with divorced parents sadly. Except it was not a travel plaza oasis due to no toll roads in Tennessee. My friend dad's moved to Kentucky in the year 2000 at age 8 when his dad took a job offer in Lexington, the mom stayed in Louisiana. So his dad and him would drive from Lexington to Memphis, TN, meet his ex at a Walmart parking lot or a convenience store parking lot, hand my friend over to his ex, and his mom would drive him the rest of the way to Ruston, LA. Fortunately, my best friend and I don't have to worry about that anymore. We are adults now and in our early 30s, neither of his parents live in those states anymore. Mother lives in New Hampshire while the dad lives in eastern North Carolina. I think Northwest Airlines had a hub in Memphis, TN INTL Airport at one point which was very convenient for my best friend, direct one stop flight and change planes in Memphis before Delta merged with Northwest and closed the Memphis hub. So he could fly there that way then.

    The Hinsdale oasis had that huge indoor playground. There were originally 7 I believe 5 were over 294. 2 of the 5 are left over 294. There are 2 left one is in DeKalb which I believe the only one that doesn’t go over an interstate.

    Lake Forest Oasis was open last time I was through there about a year ago... north of Gurnee
    I remember them fondly from family vacation trips between Milwaukee and Michigan (lower) ... Seem to remember another one in Michigan City near the Indiana border... But most importantly my recollections of the Oases always involved a HoJo's (Howard Johnson's) 😊

    I think your mold collection would make a great collection to maybe display in a different room outside the bunker? Or maybe you can make shelves that hold them to go around the top part if the walls. Also i bet your extras would make great trade bait for other ones you dont have with others who want ones you have. All love Jacob, I have your pin in my car so we can go on adventures together because that is a bucket list dream of mine to go on a dark ride or something with you ir be that plus one when you need it 😄
