Trip to Corvette Museum
Hey guys,
For all those living in the Indiana/Ohio/Illinois/Kentucky area, on March 12 I am planning a trip to the Corvette Museum.
I have been talking to some guys in my Indiana group about going, and there are plans at this time for this day. I thought I would open it up to anyone else who happens to want to join.
Please let me know as soon as possible, so I can call the plant and arrange a tour for all of us at once (who is interested anyway). I am thinking the plant tour will be around 2pm so that give people plenty of time to drive down.
I will be driving down on Sunday so I will be there in the morning to check out the Corvette museum.
I will be spending two days down there, so anyone else who wants to hang out is more than welcome.
I would be nice to make a "Corvette train" on the way down if possible. I plan to leave Indy around 3pm and be in Louisville by 6pm for dinner and then after that, make my way to the hotel somewhere near by. After that, it is up in the air; it depends on how many go.
Let me know.

From Louisville, you are about two hours north of Bowling Green. I-65 southbound all the way. You could eat dinner in Louisville and easily be in Bowling Green before dark. The museum is located at the first Bowling Green exit. You will ride past the plant on your right and exit. Go to the light, turn left, and follow the road around to the museum.
Have you contacted the plant about taking the tour on Monday?
Here's hoping you get good weather.

Took a trip there with my wife and kids this past November (was in Kentucky with family for Thanksgiving) Great place to visit, I wish I had my Vette with me. Have fun, you will really enjoy it.
