[QUOTE="Zedaholic, post: 123574, member: 3781"] For the most part, everything that was planned went well despite having rain the first few days on the road. While on route, no issues getting fuel, lodging (rooms were pre-booked) or meals. We did run into a short section of poor road on route as construction was underway and the pavement was torn up. The section with no pavement was very bumpy and muddy (approx. 1 to 2 km). One fellow in our group with a C5 ended up damaging his exhaust system, nothing serious but he did end up having to get it repaired. Once we got to the staging area just outside of Bowling Green things got a whole bunch busier. We had a long wait in the staging area before the group was allowed into Bowling Green. I recall it being late afternoon which basically made for gridlock in Bowling Green. When 1000's of cars show up during when the locals are heading home from work, traffic didn't move very quickly. Once we arrived at the Museum, we were directed to the parking lot at the race track where they had shuttle buses to take us back to the museum. Once back at the museum, registration lines were long, the place was packed, but that was to be expected. Our hotel was in Franklin KT, a 30 minute drive south of Bowling Green. No issues getting meals or fuel near our hotel. With the number of people and cars that attended the 20th anniversary event, I did hear about restaurants running out of food and line ups at gas stations in Bowling Green. I would think that restaurants will be better prepared in 2019 knowing what happened in 2014. The only thing I wasn't totally prepared for was the heat and humidity, that made being outside very uncomfortable. It's currently -13 outside as I'm typing this, I wouldn't mind being back in the heat right now! [/QUOTE]
