Being I travel extensively?
I plan a route through Lexington, Kentucky.
I've been through Louisville and Nashville and can say....
Probably not a smart way to go!
Mapping software will tell you it's faster but get caught in traffic or accidents!
I also plan to travel to avoid rush hours!
Means I'll be the Ghost in the dark!

Don't come through Nashville between the hours of 3:30 to 6:30 pm on Friday. It will cost you at a minimum another hour delay, if sunny and there are no major incidents or shootings. They think nothing of shutting the interstate systems down for hours on end for the littlest of things, too. Otherwise, the speeds run 80 mph plus for most speeders outside those times and beyond the bottleneck points.

I'm heading south Tuesday or Wednesday from Northern Ohio.
I'll go through Lexington, KY to avoid Louisville and Nashville.
Maps will tell you it's slower and longer?
But trust me! I know what can happen and how often it does!
Many times the longer route is the fastest since so many people just blindly follow what GPS tells them.
I also know rush hours and plan around that as I travel.
I get 5 hours drive time on a full tank of fuel.
That's 2 stops and I'm in Alabama. Takes about 10 minutes to fill up.
If I roll from home at 1 AM? I avoid a lot of traffic problems on my way.

Made two trips back and forth from Ohio when we moved here in 2013. That's 4 times in Nashville and it cost us two days layover each time...

It wasn't about the traffic.... I just can't seen to drive through Nashville without stopping for a 2 day party.

Anyways......
I just got back from the courthouse. The GTA Fun Shoot East is officially booked !!!
We got a little extra bonus tossed in. We now have full access to the grounds and the inside facility. This inside facility has a large banquet area just perfect for vendors to set up shop if they choose. It also provides space for folks to set tables and sell their ~~junk~~ used guns if they choose. What this does is, if vendors spend time and money to come to our event and it rains out, they are still set up to sling their wares indoors. With the pavilion, our canopies and other covered areas, we should not be bothered by a little rain here and there. WE WILL SHOOT AIRGUNS RAIN OR SHINE !!!!
It also provides another set of indoor restrooms and a kitchen. I've only been in the banquet room so I'll have to see what else is in there.
I pick up the keys on Friday morning and turn them back in Monday afternoon.

When I visited Bill I saw this place.
Actually pulled in to wait for him to get off work.
Then I got a stare from some one and moved down the road a bit.
People that have seen my truck probably understand why I get stares.

Yep. And as you seen my Truck stands out! It's big and sports many antennas!
Almost like the Men In Black would step out! LOL
I figure many think it's a Government truck as is my intention!

That truck does draw eyes! And has probably helped save me from trouble in some areas.
That's a whole nother thread on stories!

Again.... I'll get some pics posted this weekend of the layout. I use my rangefinder to get some basic measurements. I would like a couple suggestions as far as the directional layout. We have a couple options.
There is also a rodeo pen that short range shooting, or games, can be set up in. In my mind it can be set up for two types of shooting in two separate areas ...... safely.

I kicked in some to start.
Would have done more but the body armour had to come first.
