Southern Indiana Welcomes Hoosier Cruisers - May 1st
– 4th
Knox County Park,
3500 N. Lower Fort Knox Road, Vincennes, IN 47591
What a great way to jump into spring, take a scenic trip
to southern Indiana. All club members and guests are invited to join in the fun
in Vincennes, IN. Rally Masters Bettie
& Greg Wessel, Lois & Chuck Blodgett, and Judy Hohl & Rem Remley
have reserved the entire Knox County Park (Ouabache Trails Park) for our
camping. All sites have 30 amp. electricity
and water, and a dump station is conveniently located in the park. Because
the park is in the rolling hills of Indiana some sites have a slight slope and members may want to bring blocks for leveling. The club will have access to a shelter where coffee will be available every morning. The park can be easily accessed from US 41. To assist you with your arrival use the map included and watch for HC signs as you near the park.

Sooo…..what’s planned for this spring celebration? Arrival of coaches is planned for Thursday
and for those who want to eat out, members can gather at the Ponderosa
restaurant. A room has been reserved for
our use. After breakfast on your own on Friday, members will begin with a cup
of “joe” in the shelter and prepare for the day’s activities. The day will be a full day for those who have
elected to take tours to the Red Skelton Museum and the Toyota factory in
Princeton. Members will be divided into two groups with one group traveling to
the factory in the morning and the second group traveling to the museum. Groups
will then visit the opposite attractions in the afternoon. That evening members may opt for dinner at
Fazoli’s. After dinner, weather permitting, we will have a campfire back at the
campground.
Saturday will be a less structured day and to kick-off
your day we will begin with a pancake breakfast prepared by the rally masters.
After breakfast you will want to plan your day by choosing from a variety of
activities or enjoy a lazy day at the campground and visit with friends. Listed below are some of the offerings that
participants may enjoy.
