Just checking to see who is planning to attend this year.

I will be arriving on either Wednesday, 8/25 or Thursday, 8/26 and staying until the end on Sunday, 8/29.

I assume that C3VR will have our same spot again this year.

If you are planning to attend, sign in here. dwright2010-05-04 17:43:37

Dave, you're more familiar with the area ( like when you left me behind last year Evil Smile

! ) so do you know of someplace we could hook up on Saturday evening? Plenty of time, just throwing it out there!

Barry, I don't remember leaving you behind, when are you talking about? If I did then I'm really sorry.

I really don't know the area, but I do know not to be around the main part of town because of the parade and tons of people that will be in that area. I'm sure we will come up with someplace to go on Sat. eve.

Like last year, I am planning to camp just outside Gate 3. That makes it very convenient.

I am disappointed that I won't be in the parade Saturday night. That is always fun.

And I will go for a jog in the morning.

Dave, I was refering to last year on Friday night going to dinner when you took the back roads to the dinner and I lost you on the way and got stuck in the monsoon backup. But I'm just yankin' your chain, no worries. I guess we'll have to scout out a place when we get there!

My son and I will be attending from Kingston ON. Canada. I would really like to be able to meet some of you from the site. Where is the dinner on Friday evening and where will the parking be for the members.

I also belong to the Northern New Yory Corvette Club so I am not really sure where I will be parking on the fun field but would at least like to meet a few people.

We are staying at the Ramada in Mechanicsburg 350 Bent Creek Blvd Starting on the 27th - Friday.

Martin,

As noted above, we have been eating at the Rustic Tavern. There is another post to get a head count. Get on the list.

The offical parking area for C3VR is just beyond the wash area by gate 3. There is a 4-way stop. We are on the left corner, next to the 2003 Anniversary Vettes.

Stop by the C3VR booth. It is in the same row as the booth that takes pictures of the vettes and sells the photos. I think it is a large yellow banner. And there should be a C3VR banner and a C6VR banner. Members are easy to meet there.

Looking forword to meeting you and your son,

Dave

OK we are all settled in. Met up with Manchester Shark. Mark & Shirley were a sight for sore eyes.

Had a nice bite to eat at exit 100. Car was running a little rough over the mountain tops, Mark thought ethenol maybe? So I'm watchin the gas gage and it seemed to be sittin on 3/4 tank for a long time....like 3hours! Dang it! Confused

Stopped off for gas and it took 12.6 gallons Shocked

So I think the tank is what 18 gallons? Could have made it but glad I stopped, even with a full moon I-81 is scary!

So I'll keep track of the mileage though a full tank should get me home ok.

I'll update tomorrow kiddies..............

Great weather! Met some more new friends, what a family this group is.

From a newbies perspective of Carlisle......where the heck do you start! Cars, parts, products, clothing, food smells everywhere.......

Cars where priced very reasonable, seen quite a few driver bumper cars for 14-19K range. The car flag was pretty kewl deal they did a great job putting it all together. They gave each car a nice bottle of wine with the last car flag picture on the lable. Some people put the wine in there cars rolled up the windows and left. Now did I mention it was a cloudless day and in the 80's. The cars stayed in formation from 11-3:30pm......do you know what a bottle of wine does when it is subjected to over 100 degress for over 4 hours? POP GOES THE WINE BOTTLE! Not mine though...I drank it within 15 minutes Big smile

Just for the heck of it I wore my pedomiter today I walked 12,583 steps just under 4 miles will need to double that to see it all tomorrow.

Adam is gone now so Saturday will be a buy 1 get 1 membership FREE day LOL
