Default 2016 NCM Bash Questions....

This will be my first "Bash"....since I got to this rather late, the only thing other than the plant tour available that I was remotely interested in were the "KSP Trooper Island Tour & Lunch" and the "General Jackson Show & Lunch Tour"....for those of you who have done either, are they worthwhile, or should I cancel and just go out for a ride on the back roads around BG? Any impressions of either of these would be appreciated.

Second Q: after driving 800 miles to BG, my black wheels and most likely my baby, will be filthy...does anyone know of a good "touchless" car wash in or around BG?

TIA!

Have fun! The tours are great and you will meet some good folks. There is a nice little car wash near the downtown exit off of the interstate. Sorry, I can't remember the exit, I found it by chance. Try Google.
I have not done those as I got lucky and got in the Maker's Mark tour...it was great! You might be able to get in some of the other tours as there is a chase that someone will not show. Just check in the museum office and get on the wait list if there is one. Check with Jagamajajaran here on the forum, he has a wealth of information. You could send him a PM, also, the mods here may have some info that would be useful to you.
Best of luck and enjoy the Bash.
