If I go in looking like that and come out looking like Brad Pitt I'll be happy. If I come out looking like Brad Pitt AND have his bank account I'll be overjoyed.

Wish I could come, Y'all have fun.

An update on this, as I live in Louisville and drive the bridge, from Indiana to Kentucky to and from work every day. It actually only closed Sep 9th. It will be closed till March at least but open by July. The bumper to bumper stuff will add maybe 30 to 45 minutes to your trip if you hit within 2 hours of rush hours (7:00 am to 9:30am and 3:30 to 6:00pm) it might add an hour. If you are coming south down I65 just stay in the left lane from exit 3, Indiana side, across the bridge and you are under 20 minutes to go the last 3 miles before the bridge. If you get wind the bridge is shut down due to a wreck there is a second bridge, though smaller, called the Second Street Bridge and it's right next to the main bridge. Just be prepared to get your map out. The freeway splits at about exit 3 and runs parallel with I65 over the Second Street Bridge. At that point you come out in downtown Louisville and just go south until you pick up I65 signs.
If you are coming from Illinois you could cross in Evansville Indiana or closer to Louisville in Corydon Indiana. However, if I was coming from the Illinois I would still shoot through Louisville. It won't be as bad as you think. If you are coming from the east through Cincinnati your fine.
I might be down for the day or evenings yet. A lot going on to close the garden out and winter prep the cars. Being new to the forum I'd like to get to know people. I'm actually system admin of a Kentucky Preppers site and we have a campout their Nov 4,5,6.
Thanks for the update. That's good info for everyone. I can't make it this year and I'm bummed out about it. I actually have surgery on Tuesday so I didn't even get a vote. But if you can go down for a day I think you would enjoy it. It's a fun time and a great way to meet some of the folks. It's sort of like a mini rendezvous and no one has come up missing yet. That's always a plus.

If I can keep from falling in the water (again) I will take a lot of pictures.
Well Mel and I will have peach cobbler, he is also making chicken and dumplings, and I will provide drinks.
I was going to pick up some coke, sprite, hot cocoa packets, and some hot apple cider packets. If there is something else that someone would like to drink let me know.
Mel and I are going to set camp Friday morning around 11 am I think. Then we have to head back and get the boys from school and then we will return.

I am looking forward to this trip this year. I think it will be a blast just like it has every year. A great way to meet new friends and talk with old friends. I look forward to seeing everyone again.
Crash is your wife coming?

This is sooo close to me, but I can't make it due to work restrictions. I know that I have only been a member here for a few months, but it would be great to meet you guys in person. Maybe we can plan another in the spring?
I hope that you guys have fun and travel safely. Can't wait to see pics!
Our numbers are dwindling. Unfortunately RoarK cannot attend. I hope that everybody else on the list, and a few others can make it, even if only for the day. I'm still pretty jazzed about the trip. I'll be heading out on Thursday morning.
Question for Krat - not sure what time you will be arriving. Do you want to PM those attending the name that the site is reserved under in case some get there before you. I guess the first one there can pay for the site and we can settle up after everybody arrives.
