OK - time to start planning for fall activities. This is an event for all of us not going to STI this year.

An oufit called Scenic Road Rallys out of Sunman, Indiana puts on scenic road rallys throughout the spring, summer and fall. Most are open to anyone interested, although they do put on some for owners of specific vehicles such as Jeeps, Porsches, etc. I caught a link to them a while back while looking at an Indiana State Park's web site - many of their rallys are tied into the Indiana State Parks.

Back in the spring when this first caught my eye, I printed out descriptions of many of their rallys planned for 2009, and this Haunted Tunnel one caught Minor One's eye. (She's into spooky halloween stuff.) The other night she told me we needed to sign up for this. She called today and found out that so far no one has signed up for this rally. (They have a limit on how many vehicles they have in an outing.)

So, it sounds like a cool get together for a car club around halloween. If we have fun with this, and enough are interested, we could probably get them to do a special Avalanche rally in 2010.

You can find out more details here:

Note in the above link that the cost is $35 if pre-registered, $45 day of the rally. Also note that you will need to bring your valid drivers license and proof of insurance. No pets (sorry Didit, Lu, Butch and Jomamma) or alcohol.

Here's a link to some pictures of last year's Haunted Tunnel rally - hopefully it will not be rainy this year!

Looks like a great time. Post here if interested.

eidt - note that I will be in the Australian Outback over the next couple of weeks and may not be able to reply to any posts until late this month.

Hmmm,,,,4.5 hours. I wonder if Boilers has a couch we can borrow.

I guess I forgot to mention where this would be, although you can find it in the link.

The starting point will be near Seymour, Indiana. Seymour is in southern Indiana, on I-65, I'm guessing about halfway between Indy and Louisville.

OBB, I'd give you a couch, but I live nearly 2 hours from Seymour, on the opposite side from you.

Plenty of room available at my place if needed. Plenty of room to pitch a tent outside as well!!

I'll keep that in mind if it can possibly fall into place. We still have a lot of traveling to do yet this fall.

You could make a stop in Evansville on the way to or from and visit your mother too!

Well Main doesn't look like this is gonna happen, even for me. I have the last home game for Zak's football team this day & will not be able to go. Hope you can get some interest from other members, this seems like a awsome thing to do!!!

Thanks for posting. Hopefully we'll get some late interest in the gtg. Hopefully people will be getting into the Halloween spirit here shortly on want to try this out.

Well, we had a great Army gtg, a gtg of One, LOL!

Although the day started out chilly and damp, it turned out to be a beautiful day for a nice drive in the country, which is what the Scenic Road Rallys are all about. We met some nice people, and were able to "find" things of interest that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to, or at least not without a great deal of trouble and/or trespassing!

Here are some pics of the vehicles lining up. My favorite was the AMX in the front of the line.

Sounds like we missed a good time. Scare up any ghost or goblins?

Nothing too scary popped up. Here's a couple more pics of the tunnel. Also, the tour ran us by an old brick factory. Here's a picture of one of the kilns. A lot of bricks for Indiana college buildings came from this place.

We saw several round barns like this one. We also stopped at the longest remaining covered bridge in the country. This one is closed to traffic, but you can walk through it.

Very cool! Looks like you guys had pretty good weather for this!
