Our Field-trip to the BMW Plant

This was really a cool thing to do, Ken and I went to the SC BMW plant, the largest plant in the USA. It started with the museum and then on to a 2 hour tour on the assembly line. No cameras were allowed inside, so I can't show you all the cool robots working. There are 5000 employees and yet people are really fairly scarce inside, it is almost totally automated. We saw mostly all 4 and 5 series vehicles in production. This plant makes 600 plus cars a day and 5 different models. Our guide was terrific and the plant immaculate. Afterwards we went to lunch in a beautiful resturant that looked like a castle. Anyway it was a terrific day. I'm so glad field-trips aren't just for school kids anymore. Our activity group is lots of fun. Of the 12 couples in it there were 18 people that made it today.
