We left the rural setting of Salt Lick Creek Campground for the adjacent-to-the-interstate campground of the Bowling Green KOA. Hey, we were just happy to have cell reception again. The noise wasn't too bad either, especially when one considers that Bowling Green is Kentucky's third largest city.
Our main objective was the National Corvette Museum. We had skipped this museum early in 2021 when we came through the area and visited Mammoth Cave National Park. We had hoped that the factory tours would have resumed when we came through next time. However, those tours have not yet resumed and we don't know when we'll be through the area next.
Harold owned a 1986 Corvette years ago. So to tour the museum and see the significant Corvettes was a treat. We waited to go through the museum on a Monday as opposed to the weekend, hoping for less crowds. Given that we saw school group tour after school group tour, I'm not sure that was the best idea.
Perhaps one of the things for which the museum is known, is not the Corvettes themselves, but the sinkhole that opened up in 2014 and swallowed eight Corvettes. The Corvette Cave In Exhibit covers sinkholes, the cave-in and subsequent fill, the "sinkhole Corvettes," and the role the media and social media played in the event.
As we were getting ready to leave the museum, we heard a Corvette start up. Then the clapping started. The owner of a brand new Corvette was leaving the museum. R8C Museum Delivery is an option on the build sheets of new Corvettes.
Hey, I owned a 'vette once too - a Chevette. : )
