Took care of a number of necessities this morning already

• Tires Balanced and Rotated
• Spare Checked
• Oil Changed
• New Battery

I'll put up a separate post about the battery - you won't believe it. Been looking at the weather for our extended trip and it looks like bright sunny skies as far out as I can see! We can hardly wait to get on the road and see everyone!!

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Running out of time to do things myself so a week ago took "The Beast" in to have fluids changed (brakes, tranny, diff, P/S, and cooling), A/C checked, and a couple of idiot lights checked out.  After that had to pull the front shocks off and send them out to get rebuilt so that should take care of the SRC light.  Now need to chase down the bad impact sensor in the front left corner to get rid of the SRS light.

Sounds like you are almost ready for the trip.  Hope all goes well on the trip and time with fellow C3 folks.  Will you be heading West with any other C3 folks (cars)?

Take care and keep us posted on your trip.

Well, I was almost ready yesterday, but NOW I'm ready. Washed the car today. Everyone knows the most important step in preparing for a road trip is getting the car clean! No, Gary, we're not caravaning with anyone, we'll be taking an out of the way route, but I'll. detail that out later

I had the AC fixed last month, all the belts and hoses checked and the AAA renewed.

______________

I am hoping that my recovery from my latest round of clotting issues and the subsequent surgery is far enough along so I can make the trip.

 Man, I can't believe the wife and I aren't going. The destination, while in the western region, is a 1000 mi. out of my budget. We'll just have to be satisfied to feed off of the sights and memories you folks share with us.  Enjoy.

We are all pulling for you Wally, but be sure to listen to the Docs.

Hope you guys have a great tyme !!!

Wish "We" Were There

Well, I met with my doctor yesterday and I will not be making the gathering this year. I will not bore you with the the details, but lets just say that low hemoglobin and high altitude are not a particulary healthy mix. To say I am bummed, is a serious understatement. I need to stay home and complete my recovery so I can make next years gathering. Everyone beware when Marshall pulls his little pad and starts writing.... :o)

Very sorry to hear you won't make it, but more sorry to hear that health is the reason. Take care of yourself and we'll see you at the next one!

My son and I are getting on a plane tomorrow morning to head West. We are first stopping in New Mexico to visit family.  Then we'll be driving north to Colorado Springs on Wednesday via a metal rental car. Then we'll fly home out of CS on 6/30.

We will arrive in Denver Monday and depart the following Tuesday. May head up North before heading to Colorado Springs.

It's 5:30 AM, I am all packed and ready to hit the road.

Arrived in CO yesterday (via NM, TX, OK, KS, MO and IL) and will head to Manitou Springs Wednesday am (assuming we can find a route not closed by the fires). Candi is saying since the top was down the whole way that maybe I should have brought the sunscreen!
