I stopped in to see the National Museum of the American Indian as I don't recall this being one of the museums I went to as a kid as I don't think it was even built! This was a very interesting museum with a lot of culture. I've not been to the museum of the same name in New York either, but look forward to going if it's even a portion as wonderful as this one. There were so many nooks and crannies in this museum that I highly doubt I even saw a small portion of what was on display. I look forward to visiting again in the future!

Update:// Eric from Illinois emailed me saying that he had found this crane on a trip to D.C. and brought it back with him to college in Illinois. Definitely one of the further replacements for sure! Thanks a bunch Eric for being part of this project with me! 

A Crane Found and Replaced!

I got an email from Andrea at the Tampa Bay History Center saying that they found Crane 388, Dainty!

April 29th: "One of our staff members at the History Center found her a couple days ago and it just so happens that a few of our staff members are heading up to the American Association of Museums Annual Conference in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tomorrow so we are sending her there! Thanks for visiting the Tampa Bay History Center Dainty, have a great flight"

Very exciting! I've never been to Minnesota. I'm get a little jealous that my crane it seeing places that I haven't before. But I was extremely pleased to get the following email from Manny who also works at the Tampa Bay History center.



May 2: "She's at the American Association of Museums Conference in Minneapolis. I took the picture at the Minneapolis Convention Center on May 2 and I left her there at the conference hospitality booth. We’ll see if someone picks her up."

Check out the point I put on the map to see Dainty's current placement! And thank you to the wonderful people at the Tampa Bay History Center for finding and replacing Dainty. Also, thank you fine folks for running a pretty interesting museum so that we could enjoy a lovely outing in downtown Tampa!

330. Befriend Replacement

Not only was Crane 330 (Befriend) found, but it was re-released! On October 5th, I got an email from Lisa:

"Hi Sandy,

We found a nice sunny place for the “Befriend” crane on a bench alongside the playground at Parker Sickles Park in Little Silver this morning. Here’s a picture.

All my best,
Lisa"

She and her co-workers Tori and Christine found the crane that I placed in Sickles Market, so they re-placed it for someone to find in the park nearby. How exciting!
