Bo le Hun"ng Across the U.S.

The Collec"ons

When this trip was planned, we made it a point to visit Tulsa, Oklahoma. A col-
lector friend had passed away a few years ago and his widow had offered to let
us come and purchase from the collec"on. We had been in contact and she had
sent a list . Having never seen the collec"on we were not sure exactly what we
we find, however there were some bo les on the list that we were interested in.
As I men"oned in a previous Ar"lce the 4 of us on the trip each had a different
interest. Bourbon, Scotch, Vodka and Tequila. Well the list we got was made up
of primarily Bourbons with some scotches on it so we did not know if two of us
would be just going to see the collec"on.
We had planned a full day for Tulsa, we had made reserva"ons for 2 nights at a
resort about an hour out of Tulsa. We got there the night before, had a res%ul
evening. Even slept in a li le before we headed off to see the collec"on.
The other thing of note is that when we packed the truck at the beginning of the
trip, it was pre y full. We managed to find room for the bo les we had picked
up along the way but things were generally full. We unloaded most of our stuff
at the resort to have room for whatever we might find.
What we found was amazing. The list was only a par"al list and there were spec-
tacular bo les in all categories to be found. Each of us found our appropriate
bo le area and started hun"ng.

This is some of the bo les
and some of what I picked
up for my collec"on. I was
under full restraint, a&er all
I s"ll had a show to a end
and more bo les there. The
other guys showed far less
restraint.
