This was cruising day and the weather turned out nearly perfect for it.
Besides some pretty cool roads, we toured a Coke museum and a Bourbon
distillery.

Today didn't contain much "road trip" stuff. I spent part of it at work
and a good bit on the expressway although I did get in a little Dixie
Highway south of Louisville. Hooking up with the group and an evening
filled with road talk made up for a lot of expressway.
Prelude (February 13, 2007)
This trip grew from a recent thread at the
American Road Magazine forum. A chat about a past road
trip veered just a bit off topic and turned into a chat about a future
road trip. The folks doing the chatting live in St Louis, Indianapolis,
and Cincinnati and at some point I suggested
Wigwam Village
#2 in Cave City, Kentucky, as something reachable from all three. A
little more time and a little more chatter and road trip plans started to
form.
The Cincinnati resident was, of course, me. The guy from St Louis was Kent Sanderson who I've followed on a couple Route 66 outings including last September's transmission farewell tour. Pat Bremer, another guy who I've followed on Sixty-Six and a few other roads, was the one chatting from Indianapolis. We recently settled on a date and a sketchy route for a cruise and had a couple more folks sign on. Fran, another Missourian, is joining us and so is Baby Boomer Bob from Tennessee. I fully expect the group to grow a bit more before the cruise date arrives. That date is April 28. We'll be doing a loop on the Dixie (US-31W) and Jackson (US-31E) Highways through Elizabethtown and Bardstown with an evening gathering back at the Wigwams. If anyone reading this wants to come along, feel free to drop me a note.
