Well, I hate to do this and disappoint everyone, but, we drove the covered bridge route yesterday and it was great! Even the weather cooperated for the second half of the drive.
Midnight blue was kind enough to give us a previous set of directions and they were very good. We missed two turns and hit two closed roads (with well marked detour routes). Made a side trip to the Van Sant airport where a motorcycle tour was preparing to start.
After the tour my navigator and I went to the brew pub in New Hope and enjoyed the entertainment. It consisted of a swarm of unusual people who were there for Goth Night and a small group of firefighters who were there for the smoke coming from the kitchen! Oh, and there was a power failure too. But the beer was delicious and cold, so we carried on.
The group on the tour was just barely a group. Unfortunately we didn't know that most of the participants are active on this board and not on www.planet-9.com where we saw the post by wellardmac. We found out when we were rudely interrupted during our lunch at a country store by a guy who had seen our cars in the lot and felt compelled to come and talk to us. He turned out to be a very nice fellow who owns a 944 with a Corvette engine!
Anyway, when we get home today I'll post some pictures and a short video or two.

This is the most thought provoking thing I could think of.
