Rough River State Park And now for something completely different. It was 9:00 AM on Saturday, May 19. The street in front of Bob and Melinda Myers' home was lined with Porsches. Ominous clouds drifted overhead to threaten our drive. Chris Hancock, an electrical engineer with a passion for motorcycles as well as Porsches, was the route planner and drive leader. As we would soon see, he knew some of the most entertaining back roads of Indiana and Kentucky. Inside, Bob and Melinda have provided breakfast in the form of make-your-own breakfast burritos, fruit and drinks. Everyone is eager to go on our drive. As people finished, they moved outside to discuss newly purchased gems. Optimistic souls lowered their tops. Mark Roethemeier reminded us about safety considerations and handed off to Chris who would lead the drive. Kentucky seemed a lot greener than Indiana. The pace slowed through some areas. Then it was time for a rest stop. Scott Klueh expressed our appreciation for Chris Hancock's route planning and drive leadership. Everyone agreed. We had developed an appetite and most people were quick to chose the buffet. This round table for ten made candid picture taking awkward. Starting with Linda Barth (far left, back to camera and sunglasses on head) and moving clockwise: Melinda and Bob Myers, Gary and Rosie Stroud, Debbie and Larry Vandagriff, and new members Doug, Lisa, and Luke Ramey. Scott Klueh and Mitch Deep dined at the table in the foreground. At the next table: Diane and Chris Hancock (backs to camera), and Bethany and Bret Grimes. Across the table: Mark and Cheryl Roethemeier, Norman Hurst, and (not pictured) Jerry and Susan Jindrich. Many thanks to Bob and Melinda Myers for a tasty breakfast and to Chris and Diane Hancock for an entertaining drive. This was an entertaining and memorable day.
