THE 2024 DRIVE @ The Schweinefiletring™
Deep in Germany, there is a race track through the hills called the Nürburgring. You may
have heard of it. Or, you may live deep in a cave. Either way, we’re pretty sure you don’t know we have our own ‘ring in Indiana. And, since it’s Indiana, it’s also larger than life – dwarfing the Nürburgring by 10 times. So large, in fact, that it has its own name: The Schweinefiletring™ (translation: Pork Tenderloin Ring)!
Drive the published route (either direction) ANYTIME during August 3 - 18, 2024. It’s a loop route so you can start anywhere on the route.

Why? This is a pretty good picture of a turtle. However, we can’t easily tell if the turtle is chilling at Bean Blossom Overlook, Sgt. Ricks, or in Phil’s backyard. No Points Awarded.
