Default The Godfather

Two weekends ago I became a godfather to my high school buddies daughter. On the way up I only took state roads to see the sights in cental and southern Indiana. I took the vette up through central Indiana into Brown Co. which is noted for its fall folage. So here are some pics.

French Lick (where Larry Bird is from) West Baden Hotel where Al Capone stayed.

Brown Co.

Here's to you!! I'm a fan of Chrome Wagon wheels too despite the bad rap they get among many forum members. They look good on your Vette.

Excellent pix (and a great looking car)!! Thanks for sharing.

We live in Northern Indiana and always take the scenic route through Brown County when we head for Bowling Green and points south. Beautiful country!
