GW X Part One

We left bright and early on Thursday, May 24th from Dresden, TN with the destination of Louisville, KY.  I selected a few caches to go after but I knew time would be a factor and didn't cache much on the way.  After missing the exit for the Parkway and we found ourselves on I-24 heading towards Clarksville, TN, I auto-routed to Big Spring in Princeton, KY.  We liked the area and took some pictures.  Since we were near the Parkway, we got back onto the road towards Louisville.  While traveling north on I-65, we picked up a very easy earthcache, Drive-By Geology.  We reached the destination at Churchill Downs in Louisville with nearly an hour to spare.  While parking we noticed other cachers in the area.  I was thankful that we arrived as early as we did.  Walking to the point of the flash-mob was difficult.  We arrived at the event and perhaps over 100 cachers attended the event.  Afterwards, we toured Churchill Downs and stayed for the rest of the races.  We checked into the Comfort Inn which was a short distance from the racetrack and then headed downtown Louisville to attend Crossmage & Phonix Lady R Gettin' Hitched @ GWX! .  Very cool event, we chatted with the cache event host, bride and groom while there.  We walked over to the Old Church and grabbed that cache.  We stayed around and walked with a group of cachers to visit an old hotel that had a Gothic feature in the basement dinning room.  Near the event area was an area of many restaurants, where we ate at an Irish place.
