We planned for the easiest day of the week...just 350 miles, and only a couple turns. We could leave late, and because of the time change, we would still arrive early. But we were wrong...

When we woke up, it was raining. And not just rain, but a monsoon, with thunder and lightning. In fact, lightning struck the hotel next to ours, and knocked out the power. We decided to leave when...well, if...the rain stopped.

It finally stopped, and in the dark, we headed for Louisville. Traffic was barely moving into Louisville, and the Old Guys were bumper-to-bumper. But as we exited towards St. Louis, Mikey blew by us, heading for Indy! We stopped for a half-hour, and waited for him to get turned around. Poor Mikey...an ol' country boy trying to find his way to the big city!

Then there was the great Route debate...I said it was Route 121, and everyone else stuck with Route 127. So we took Route 127, and they were right...guess I can't tell the difference between a 1 and a 7 anymore!

The weather cleared up, cooled off (mid 70's), and the tops went down! We ran the two-laner for about 50 miles, and arrived at the hotel just before check in time!

Then we waited for Kevin, Jamie, and Boss Hog, who were hopelessly lost, and finally arrived just in time for dinner. Corky's BBQ was next door to the hotel, and pretty good...NOT Smokey Pig or Sims, but better than most!

Right now we're working on tomorrow's Route 66 cruise, which we expected to start somewhere close by, but actually starts 100 miles south, in St. Louis!
