Mary's Brown County Trip 08/02
Jim Alvis sent in the report on Mary’s Brown County trip from yesterday. It was great.
Sunday August 2 turned out to be a gorgeous day for Mary McConnell’s Brown County trip. The weather cleared just as we were meeting at the former Marsh store at Stones Crossing and State Road 135 in Johnson County. About thirty Corvettes and three metal vehicles showed up for the trip. The vehicles were divided into three groups of ten and spaced five minutes apart. A driver’s meeting was held for last minute instructions.
The first group departed at 10:00 am and it was off to visit the Chapel in the Meadow, constructed by Italian POWs at Camp Atterbury during WWII. Then it was off to have lunch at The Old Barn at Brown County, outside of Nashville, Indiana. The roads were dry which made for some spirited driving on the curvy, winding Brown County roads, ideal for enjoying your Corvette. The Old Barn is old in appearance but modern in terms of facilities. It is a popular venue for weddings, parties, and entertainment during warm weather. Lunch consisted of pulled pork, potato salad, and peach cobbler. The final stop was to visit Hard Truth Hills just outside of Nashville. More spirited driving on the Brown County curvy roads. This is a very popular facility including a restaurant, entertainment area, and distillery. Folks could enjoy a refreshment, tour the distillery, or just walk around and enjoy the facility.
Kudos to Mary and her assistants John and Marg Herder, Jeff Cox, and Paul Amos who did a great job of providing a very enjoyable and safe Corvette driving event for us to enjoy.
