Bowling Green

Yesterday we made the trip from Elkmont to Bowling Green KOA. No issues on the road but the traffic was heavy in both directions. Easy into the KOA and a decent site. Like all KOA's it is on the pricey side but location, location, location.

Once set up my first job was to tighten the bike rack. It works loose in a few thousand miles. This time I had some blue thread locker to put on the bolt. So we will see if it stay's tight longer, like forever.

The KOA is near Aviation Heritage Park which I would like to visit but the weather has not cooperated, rain, high wind, tornado warnings generally not nice to crawl around in the rain. However the National Corvette Museum is near by. Museums are a good place to go on a rainy day.

Quite a place. There were at least 6 new Corvettes in the main entry hall waiting for their owners to take delivery. After our museum tour we saw several owners being given the rundown on their new toy's by their advisor type person. Very impressive.

The museum is really worth a visit even with the sink hole. The sink hole did not so any damage to the main museum display area. Only the Sky Dome Hall of Fame was damaged, and that is a big ONLY. There is a display area of the vett's they pulled out. It is enough to make you cry.

Put the bikes back on the rack, bailed out the kayaks and put the cockpit covers on. Then more rain.
Thunder, lightning, tornado warning. Our basement is full so we will have to find other shelter next time. We waited this one out in the RV since the news/weather showed to warning area several miles east of us. I don't think any tornadoes touched down,

We spent some time going over our travel plans for the next couple of days and where to fuel. Indiana is one of the states that do not add the tax at the truck pumps. So in all stations except Pilot/Flying J you have to get diesel at the non truck pumps. PFJ has the tech to adjust the price at the pump for us RV's so we can use the truck islands.

There are not many, really no, Pilot Flying J north of Saginaw MI and in the UP as well as Wisconsin, Minnesota but this page from DieselPlace should be a big help.


Tomorrow we head to Indianapolis for an overnight before a short ride to Goshen  and the rally.
