All,
Looking for a place to stop enroute from the SE, with things close to the airport or easy transportation. Prefer a B&B, perhaps in a quiet town with something to see, perhaps spend the day.
A few places that come to mind...
French Lick, IN
Cumberland Lake, Jamestown, KY
Reelfoot state park, KY
Petit Jean State Park
Lee Bottom (camp again?)
O6A Tuskegee Museum
Dickson, TN M02, Small B&B there, restaurants
Greenwood GWO Alluvian spa
Beaufort, NC
Ideas?
All of the above are great but I would also included Grimes Field (I74) Urbana, Ohio.

Some of the above are spread out a good bit. I'd be WX flexible and get as far as your departure plans allow. If you snug it up towards Oshkosh you have less distance to deal with the next day.
So in part it depends on where you launch from? From the SE I'd likely do the Chicago lakefront to get around ORD class B.
Great idea thx!Quote:

Danville, KY. Might be interesting to you. Located in the Central portion of the state. Stuart Powell Field is very accommodating. Cheap fuel and Jet A, friendly staff, nearby motels and B&B's, historic sites, Civil War Battlefield, Good restaurants. Call ahead for a courtesy car.
