Tuesday

We arrived at the Indy 500 museum at 9AM when they opened. We took photos of the cars in front of the big gate and the museum building, then went inside. In minutes the skies opened up and it poured for the next 2 hours. It slowed off a bit finally and we jumped into the cars and headed south towards Seymour. Within 20 minutes we had driven into the storm again. We pulled off and took shelter under a gas station canopy, it was like driving thru a car wash! After about an hour it slowed so we left again, same thing happened. We did make it to the antique store where we spent the next several hours. We finally arrived at Seymour around 5 PM. We went to the party, had some great food, meet old friends. It was a fine evening.
We will leave in the morning for the short drive to Louisville. Hopefully all of the water will be down by the time we arrive there. They had 6 inches of rain in an hour, some terrible flooding.The car is quite wet inside, carpet, door panels, rear panels....it will dry out this weekend I hope.
