Sorry I haven't been on in the last couple of weeks.   I have been as busy as a one armed paper hanger with the hives.

I am starting to plan the cruise route.  It will include a stop at Summit Racing, and go past Hale Farm and Village.  Hale is a working farm from the 1800s.  Quite an attraction.  We may go past the Goodyear Air dock, the largest freestanding structure in the world until just recently.

I will post a list of Hotels/Motels in the area this weekend.  I will have time to get the list together by then. 

I will also post directions from several different areas to here.

Time to get my plans laid out.  More coming soon.

Hi Ken,

I'd really like to come to your get together but already have "Corvettes at Mackinaw" booked. I think it's a great idea for a regional outing. Good luck and all of you that can attend I hope you have a great time.

I will have hotel and motel information coming soon.  Locations and phone numbers.

The Pride N Joy went into the shop last night for some needed maintenance items.  Am hoping that I can get the AC and cruise done before coming down as well.

Yes, need that hotel info soon!!!!!  We're getting tight on time, and I'd like to confirm early, but also don't want to drive 20 miles to or from the park either.

Am looking forward to spending the day with other C3er's for the first time.  Any one thinking of going to Cuyahoga Falls from the Michigan area, I wouldn't mind meeting up and traveling the way together.  I'll be driving down sometime on Friday, and back on Sunday morning.  It should be interesting to see how many tankfuls it's going to take to get there and back.

See you all there!

These are what my daughter came up with when I asked her to make a list.  My notes are next to them.  The first three are all very good bets.

According to Hotels.com, Sheraton Suites has no vacancy for the entire weekend of the gathering.  Beautiful hotel, great location, but NO vacancy.  Sorry!

Think I'll be trying the Country Inn.  Hope it has a pool!

See you there!

I'm not sure if it has a pool.   But I have a hose!  Close?

I will be at the park by about 10 am or sooner.  I am planning to start the cruise about 1 pm.  My daughter and several of her friends will stay at the park and watch our things.   When we get back from the cruise we will fire up the grill!  I will stay the entire day.

Anyone coming Friday night let me know, and I will give you my cell number.  For that matter, anyone coming who wants my cell, just let me know.

Bad news, Ken and the rest of you attendees!  Plans have changed and I will not be able to attend this much anticipated function!  No, no, no...the Vette is fine!  Clean bill of health and all.

I just won't be able to make the function afterall.  So, at this point in time all of my efforts are going to be concentrated on attending the gathering in Bowling Green in October, instead.

I'm sorry I won't get to meet Ken and his family and the rest of the family members here at C3VR, but hope that soon I can attend one of these family reunions, and see all my long lost relatives!

Grief, sadness and woe...oh, my!

Great idea - wish we could attend but involved in the Metro Cruise here in West Michiganj - have tons of fun.
