NCM visit this week

Guys I am heading to Bowling Green Saturday the 5th for a museum and plant tour. Will be there about 3 nights, any suggestions as to what else would be of interest while I am in the area. Will not be driving Vette, not enought room for me, wife, and nephew. I am I South Carolina so anything along he way would be helpful as well. Thanks

Kentucky = Bourbon!! There are a few distilleries along the way, always a good stop if you have never been.

Get a pic of Mr. Bill's brick at the Museum.

I was going to suggest Deals Gap (Tail of the Dragon) on the way up but since you are not driving the vette. Oh well do it anyway. Have fun. Did that trip 3 years ago with my brother in the 00 vert 6 speed. Looking to do it again soon in the Z06. Have fun.

Mamouth Cave just down the road has a nice quick self guided walk in a cave. Very boat ride you can catch around there also.

Travel 60 miles south on I-65 and spend an evening in Nashville TN. Downtown area has lots of things to do and some great restaurants.

Just back from Bowling Green and tour of museum and plant. Great trip but once is probably enough. Can't believe the damage it did to those corvettes, WOW. Hard to believe nothing else in or around the museum was even touched, seems like the corvette gods were frowning on the vette. Got a pic of Mr Bills brick and some shots of damaged vetts. Hope U enjoy

Looks like a GOOD trip to make. If all goes well, my wife and I will be headed there the week of Sept 28th. Traveling from Sidney, OH and driving the Vette. Plant & Museum tour, a couple nights in Nashville and a trip to Mamouth Cave.
