Actually, the Corvette museum is a very popular attraction in the cave country area in Kentucky. You always see brochures for it everywhere you go up there and the parking lot is typically full. When I worked at Mammoth, a guy I was dating dragged me there and there were plenty of other people there perusing the cars. The guy wanted to go to the Corvette museum because he "wasn't into caves." (you can guess how long that relationship lasted.)
Speaking of caves, in Kentucky, meth labs in caves are unfortunately a concern. If you enter a cave and smell a chemical-ish smell, or see rusted barrels, etc, you are advised to quickly exit and call the police. They could blow up. I don't know much about the Hays county situation and it sounds like it wasn't drug related, but it's something to be aware of, David, since you mused that caves likely don't have "unattended explosives"...but an underground meth lab definitely falls in that category. Be aware! And meth is not just a Kentucky thing. :/ Mallory Mayeux Sent from my iPhone On Feb 13, 2014, at 12:45 PM, David <[email protected]> wrote: > Warning: this email just contains inflated opinions and personal irrelevant > stuff. > > I would bet more people would someday pay to see the wrecked Corvettes > displayed as an attraction in a cave, than the museum would have ever made in > the future, as it was probably not a profitable business, but relied heavily > on donations and volunteers.
