Ford Factory Tour

Today, I went to Dearborn to visit the Henry Ford Museum.  I've been to the accompanying  Greenfield Village a couple of times, but never the museum.  At the ticket counter, I saw that they had restarted giving factory tours of the nearby River Rouge plant.  I bought a combo ticket including the factory & went to see it first.  I spent so long there I'll have to come back tomorrow for the other attractions.

The factory tour was pretty cool.  After watching two films & and viewing the complex from an observation platform, you enter the building where the F-150 is assembled.   You're free to walk around a catwalk over one section of the plant at you're own pace.  It was interesting to watch & try to figure out what was the responsibility of each station.
