I would be all for THAT! One of my all time favorite flicks. Reminds me of a funny, but very scary childhood moment I had.

The Dragon would be cool, but that would be a LONG drive! While I know it's a cool road and all, surely it's not the only road of that sort within 4 hours of BG, is it?
On the way home from a trip to Disney last November, we drove around/through the Red River Gorge State Park over on the East side of Lexington. As much as I love the scenery around BG, that area was gorgeous! Red River Gorge - Google Maps Looks like it's still 3 hours from BG though... As much as I enjoy driving, I'll take a fun SCENIC road over repeated twisties. Then again, the Hana Highway has both curves AND scenery. Maybe we need to go there... http://goo.gl/maps/DOhUl Last edited by Dave; 05-29-2013 at 9:34pm. |

That's be an awesome idea. Thats a classic movie. And I could just imagine the pics coming out of that. I can definitely look into a 'special' screening. They'll probably want us to rent the whole theater lo in order to do that, though. But it doesn't hurt to check. Maybe minus the chainsaw, though. We do want to be invite back. Quote:

Yes, we have. Nice place They typically play what is most popular in the box office. The two screen theatres play the top two popular. Some even play back to back films that go into the morning...lol. |

I was also thinking a dinner train option would be awesome! We are fortunate enough to be in the middle of multiple lines that provide entertainment tours, shows, dinners.
I know of a few in Nashville, one in northern BG, and one that we actually passed driving to JB. Would be different....and fun! What about an alpine slide race/competition?? The alpine slide is in cave city on mammoth cave rd. Very close to the hotel. They have dueling concrete bobsled like tracks where you sit on a skid and try to beat your opponent to the bottom. Very fun!! And yes, if you rock and push it you can fly off (not from experience ) KY Action Park Alpine Slide POV - YouTube In addition, the same lot where the alpine slide is provides old style dodge-em cars, an old arcade, horseback riding, and water bumper boats. So the wives and/or non-racers can have fun during race time. Oh and did I mention, you get to the top of the slide by ski lift...no stairs! Last edited by SpdChik; 05-30-2013 at 10:15am.

It stands to reason that if we drive from one coast to the other, we would need to drive BACK across to where we started.

Beech Bend Raceway has a huge race memorial day weekend, y'all should have came. It would have been a lot of fun. I probably could have gotten some cheap tickets if anyone would have shown interest

But more importantly, the military leadership in the West was decimated, including the loss of perhaps the best division commander of either side, Maj Gen (MG) Patrick Cleburne. Fourteen Confederate generals (six killed or mortally wounded, seven wounded, and one captured) and 55 regimental commanders were casualties. The six generals killed or mortally wounded were Cleburne, Brig Gen (BG) John C. Carter, BG John Adams, BG Hiram B. Granbury, BG States Rights Gist, and BG Otho F. Strahl. The wounded generals were MG John C. Brown, BG Francis M. Cockrell, BG Zachariah C. Deas, BG Arthur M. Manigault, BG Thomas M. Scott, and BG Jacob H. Sharp. BG George W. Gordon was captured. All of the killed or wounded Generals were cared for at the Carter House in Franklin. The South had yet to learn the lesson that the Yankee Aggressors had, "that Generals and Colonels should send troops out to fight and not lead from the front". After the war, the Yankee dead were re-interred in the National Cemetery in Murfreesboro while the Confederate soldiers were re-interred in the McGavock Confederate Cemetery on land that one was part of the McGavock's plantation "Carnton". |

Don't forget about everyone's favorite statue of Civil War General, and KKK founder, Nathan Bedford Forrest.

That abomination in Brentwood is a good reason why C-4 explosives exist. The individual who owns it had it erected where it can be viewed from I-65.
I would point out that at its inception the KKK was only supposed to provide support to Confederate soldiers from the depredations of the numerous Yankee carpetbaggers, that like vermin, were infesting the South after the war. However, over time, the organization changed to one of racial intolerance and is not one that I would ever associate myself with. Last edited by GentleBen; 05-30-2013 at 1:22pm. |

It really was a stupid slaughter house of repeated charges. Similar to Pickett's Charge and for the union - Cheatam Hill, at Kennesaw. We did reenactments at Spring Hill, TN. years ago. I went through Franklin, Stones River, etc..while there.
