Day 12 September 9, 2025 Owensboro 123 miles
Today is supposed to be partly cloudy with a high of 81 and 85% humidity. That should be good touring weather.
We drove to sights in Indiana today. Coffee break was at a drive in move theater. They have seven screens and still show movies from May through the first part of October. Admission is $12 for 12 and up. It was a wonderful place to have coffee and donuts. The cars could easily be parked all facing the same direction.
Next stop was an event center where we had a blue grass concert for over an hour and then had lunch. This meal was Italian in nature with lasagne, chicken Alfredo, vegetable pasta and salad. Then dessert was brownies or cookies like a flattened bottoms golf ball. All very good.
A nice drive took us through the farmland to the Evansville Wartime Museum. This is not a large museum but it is very well done. They even took a picture of the car in front of the museum with one of their planes. Connie got a new t-shirt. The museum is not normally open on this day. They staff came in just for us.
I learned today that the plants I thought might be peanuts are in fact soy beans. That makes far more sense. Wrong kind of soil for peanuts. Also learned Kentucky used to have the largest burley tobacco sales yard in the world. Now most of it is gone but Kentucky still produces 70% of the US production.
Drove a little further to an ice cream stop. This was just soft serve ice cream with chocolate, vanilla or swirled.
We both took naps in the cool hotel room before supper. (Retirement can be hard work.) Rob spent some time trying to fix the light bulb socket on the left headlight. He will try it out in the morning. Keep your fingers crossed.
