    Last time the PT was near Sandusky the mosquitos were big enough to pick you up and carry you off

      From Fort Wayne to Norwalk is 2 hours 42 minutes (147 miles)
      From Ft Wayne to Auburn to Norwalk adds 22 miles to this.
      Hoping that some of you might want to visit me at the ACD Museum on the way to Norwalk on Friday morning.
      The NATM (National Auto and Truck) Museum is next door, And I have spoken to the people at the "Early Ford V-8"
      Museum (also in Auburn, right off of the highway) and they are hoping that some of you might stop by

          Donna and I visited the ACD museum a couple years ago on our way home from PT. Definitely worth a stop.

            Probably going to be a 'Cars and Coffee' type of event Friday morning in Auburn. We will have a few cars outside in the Plaza (a WONDERFUL parking area) if you don't have the time to visit the collection inside, stop by and take a few pics!

              Also there is
              Automobile Museum in Auburn Indiana. Home of Futurliner #10, and more than 150 classic cars and trucks. A great venue for your event, wedding, or reception.

              and
              The Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum is a one-of-a-kind car museum dedicated to preserving 1932-1953 Ford history. Come visit us in Auburn, Indiana.

                A couple of us stopped there in 2015. It is a very cool place with several museums. I plan on stopping on Friday morning, keep us posted on the Cars & Coffee.

                Old gas station down the road a little bit also.

                    The only problem I see is that the museums open at 9 am. Would it be possible to open at least 1 place at 8am? Possibly the shop tour? The venue from the night before is less than 30 minutes away. There are many long haulers that leave the hotel between 7-730 am?

                    Do you have any information on the Hoosier Air Museum? It would be great if they would open at 8am, then on to the ACD museum.

                      That map just shows freeways. A lot of our route will be on two lane roads. The BIG question is Which two lane roads?
                      The directions they give us Suck. It is almost impossible to read that small paper, decipher them and drive at the same time.
                      I would like to know the roads being traveled so I can input them into a GPS (somehow)...

                        They came out with large print directions last year. I used to do it for everyone on the board but Hot Rod stole my idea. LOL

                          Download this program and start working with it. It takes awhile to figure out but it works great.

                          Download BaseCamp™ software to plan your outdoor activities, organize your data and share your adventurers with others.

                            Thanks. I played with basecamp before but it is for Garmin. I have a Tom Tom...
                            Somewhere I remember seeing map links for other routes that I could open with my iPhone and use it for turn by turn directions.
                            The route isn't released yet though...

                              I "think" that they (ACD and NATM) have discussed this, I will check with them tomorrow and report back.
                              I don't know anyone personally at the warbirds museum (although it is a great place to visit)

                                HRM staffer Jacob Davis (@jacobrossdavis for you Instagram types) just posted a picture from the road. He’s pre-running the route as we speak. When I asked if that meant we were close on an official announcement, he said “I would imagine so ;-)”
