Captain C3 has landed in Vernon B.C., he has been squawking about Effingham for a day and a half. He promised to start a workout routine so he does not get removed from his post again (he is still ticked about missing the fist pump from John and Carol when the Pace Car Bruce/Kathy and I caught up behind them) As far as his green card goes they said he could stay for a year if he had a means of support so I told them Larry was sponsoring him, need I say more. (don’t worry Larry its only chicken feed) Captain C3 may be looking for a ride down next year but it is a ways off yet, so we will see.

What a great time it was, here are a few thoughts. Please add as you wish I know there were lots of memories.

1.       The name “Larry” is used for;

o   A wild life species

o   Group leader

o   A Racoon

o   Captain Morgan look alike

o   A Barbeque Chief

o   Dee Dees husband (most important)***

o   RadarB8

o   A new friend…

2.       Mike is a very good planner/organizer, also a new friend

3.       Being “NEW” does not mean “left out”

4.       Bend, Sisters, Crater Lake, Mount Bachelor and area is beautiful.

5.       You “can” put two very large inflated inner tubes for rafting on the luggage rack of a C3 and still drive. Thank you Mike and Karen.

6.       Seven State Troopers in their very large Excursion Trucks with flashing lights on, mix very well with 27 corvettes and drivers. Just plain awesome.

7.       C3VR Folks are very informative, accommodating, willing, knowledgeable and downright fun to spend time with.

8.       The High Dessert Corvette Club are good people

9.       The Shilo Hotel was a great and beautiful host hotel.

10.   Larry does have relatives, just check in the Mohawk Restaurant in Crescent

11.    Crescent Moon Alpaca Ranch is someplace special to see/drive to, Thank You High Dessert Corvette Club.

12.    Christmas Trees can touch your heart all year long. "Thank You",  John & Carol***

Something that was confirmed in Bend

                ***Opportunities are everywhere; being positive helps you recognize them.***

                                                         

Thank you to all that attened, to those that could not make it, may see you next time. To those that where unsure, next time you have a chance to go, treat yourself...

KEEP THE WAVE...

now I am crying like a girl

Eric, that was great, Thanks!

What I learned:
Dont assume the Shilo will be "easy to find".

Mechanics use bungie cords to work on Vettes. Said bungie can make alot of noise.

It takes 3 people to remove a bungie from a upper control arm.

Canadians make good friends.

Wifes can come around. Mine went from "why do we have 2 red verts?" to "man these cars are TOTALLY different". I really think right now I could tell her that I took the LT-1 in for a frame off resto to NCRS standards and she would only ask "when do we get it back?". Not "How much will THAT cost?"

Ya' know, Eric...I have yet to meet a Canadian who was not friendly and fun to be around. Tell Ole' Captain C3 to get busy workin' out. If there is an issue with Larry's sponsoring him, let me know. I am sure Norsky will vouch for him!

My first time in Oregon was simply amazing. When I saw that first snow-capped mountain, I nearly ran off the road. I wanted to pull over and take a picture right then.
