We're having a cruise in the Brown County area in Indiana. This is conveniently located midway between Indianapolis, Louisville, and Cincinnati. We will first be meeting on the north side of Indy so those from Fort Wayne, South Bend, etc. will also be in driving distance. We've had 4 different Ford GTs show up to our cruises in the past so hopefully this thread will interest members in the area. I spoke to a moderator before promoting this event ... it is not for profit and the only purpose is to unite people who love to drive ... we have 40+ cars signed up already (but no GTs yet). This moderator did tell me that if after a few days nobody expresses interest the thread will be deleted, which is perfectly fine by me but I hope you will at least give it a few days and not delete it immediately. Thanks. Here are details about the cruise:
We'll be stopping in 3 different places:
The first will be in Cicero, IN at Red Bridge Park. We'll arrive here at ~10:30 and depart at 11.

The second will be at the Marathon gas station on I-65 right at exit 68. That's the exit with the big red arches on the overpass; Marathon is on the west side of the interstate. Arrive at noon and depart at 12:30.
The third stop will be for lunch at the Story Inn - http://www.storyinn.com/
They'll be preparing something special for us. Arrive for lunch at about 1-1:30 and stay there for at least an hour.
After lunch is the longest part of the drive through the twisties in Brown County. To quote Bill:
After that at around 4:30-5:00 we'll be crashing a car show in downtown Columbus, IN. I believe it has a $10 registration fee ... we'll probably stay there a couple hours although I'm sure a lot of people will just go home.

I mapped a route today and checked the mileage. If everybody wants a long loop, this one was right at 100 miles from Marathon, 46 and 135 to Story, go south past Freetown, 58 west over 446 and to Lake Monroe (good photo ops maybe there), then St Rd 45 back from Bloomington to Beanblossom, then 135 to Nashville, then back to the noon rendezvous exit and Columbus. It is a good route with tight twisties, long sweepers, good asphalt, scenic terrain. If that is too long, I can easily modify this loop into a smaller track.
