Where are we?


  • A few months ago, there was a report of a sink hole that opened up and swallowed a bunch of antique automobiles. 
  • We looked for, but did not find, 10 pins
  • Home of the National Corvette Museum

If you guessed "Bowling Green, Kentucky", you're a winner! We were there a few days ago.

We were last in Bowling Green in 1996 when we bicycled through it on our cross-country trip. Back then, it was a "rest day" stop for us, and we did take the time to tour the National Corvette Museum, which was fun. We did not tour again this time, but did stop by to see what is happening. They are fixing the sink hole in the ground, and the plan is to cover it with a strong plastic see-through floor and reinsert the badly damaged cars into the hole -- basically, turn it into an attraction.

On the way to Bowling Green, we passed through Lexington, KY (where we spent a weekend several years ago), and we still found the place to be beautiful: large lawns, white fences, horse farms, lots of green. Lexington has a truly weird deal where some guy built himself a castle - very stupid looking and certainly unusual. The other exceptional thing in Lexington is Keaneland, a race track second in Kentucky only to Churchill Downs.
