Bowling Green, Kentucky Area

A 5,795-acre lake makes Nolin Lake State Park a peaceful destination for recreation and relaxation.

Not a road sign we are used to seeing.

Crossing the Green River

Mammoth Cave National Park

The most extensive cave system on Earth with over 365 miles of surveyed passageways.  Tours covering only 10 miles.  Mammoth Cave is a dry cave which means there a very few stalactites and stalagmites.

 With the rain it was a nice day to be in a cave.

In 1981, General Motors moved production of the Chevrolet Corvette from St. Louis, MO to Bowling Green, KY. Known as “America’s Sports Car,” visitors can watch an icon in the making. The Corvette is the world’s longest-running, continuously produced passenger car with more than 1.6 million produced. The GM site consists of 212 acres, and the plant has one million square feet –equivalent to 22 acres or 17 football fields, under roof.  From start to finish the Corvette travels along the assembly line for 3 1/2 days.  17 Corvettes roll off the assembly line an hour.

For an additional $5,000 you can enroll in the Corvette Z06 Engine Build Experience.  Which includes a full day at the Performance Build Center within the Bowling Green Assembly Plant, where you’ll spend a full day working with an engine assembly technician who will instruct and oversee the build. When the engine is complete, it will be emblazoned with a personalized engine plaque identifying the owner/builder and the date of the build. And even though a Corvette Z06 with a hand-built engine is the ultimate souvenir, a photographer will be on hand to capture your experience on film.
GM is currently investing $439 million into Bowling Green Assembly for a brand new paint shop and other facility upgrades!

No pictures were allowed inside but this brand new beauty was sitting outside the Museum.

The National Corvette Museum showcases the Chevrolet Corvette, an American sports car that has been in production since 1953.

Looks like a good replacement for the jeep to me

A huge sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum swallows 8 cars.

Cars recovered from the sinkhole now become part of the display.
