I agree, I hope the musuem  doesn't win in the poll of where to have the next member gathering. I was looking forward to attending next years gathering, but if it is at the museum, I will not. Please vote for the New England area, it is a different location. Our first gathering was in the northeast (Hershey), I hope this wins out. Just my 2 cents. The musuem will just be gridlock I suspect with all the cars they are expecting.

I mentioned that my wife and I attended the Adirondack Corvette fest in Glen Falls New Youk last year...and to be honest we enjoyed ourselves quite a bit...

The event was based at the Roaring Brook Resort in the Adirondack Mountians   ...Resort is OLD..but clean rooms,... FASTASTIC FOOD...and I do like to eat.  couple of swimming pools tennis courts etc on the premises or just behind a tree... short walk to dinner from anywhere on the site...beautiful country .. No internet connection and to be honest even AOL did not have a local number to call to get connected...

Was not excactly a motel six operation as the cost of Breakfast and Dinner was included in the price of the room...(all inclusive type of place)...

Just thought I'd mention it as a possibility for our 2009 gathering because it has it all..plenty of rooms all on in seperate buildings surronding the of the dinning area (and BAR)... they even have hoses to wash the cars...LOL

Just a thought IF New England comes up a winner next year... PS...this place is about 1-2 hour drive from Montrial ...the copule next door to us were canadian..

Check out the Adoronkack Corvette web  site to get an idea of the location  price etc that they charged...

More then enough room for everyone in one central location for all of us....road tour was a short 40-50 mile drive up to visit and tour  Fort Ticonderoga ..

I couldn't agree more with Tom Clap  Although I'd like to go to a Corvette Caravan someday, I'd rather not see our Annual Gathering be part of this mess.  I really really don't like sitting in grid lock Confused  Even if it is all Corvettes.

Can someone move the poll thread "To The Top" to get it back on the 24 hour page?  I've placed my vote, but others who haven't might be more likely to vote if they can find the post more easily.

I agree.  I just posted comments that say the same thing on the 2009 gathering forum.  It would be extremely difficult to have a gathering anywhere near the museum during this time.  I am on the Missouri 2009 Caravan thread and folks are already talking about the difficulty of finding rooms in Nashville and Louisville.

I signed up for the 2009 Caravan, but not sure if I will go with the crowd or get there a day early and watch them stream in.

Hi Terry, I'm also with you . I have talked to people who were on the last caravan. They would never do it again because of the exact reasons given here.

For those who are interested in going to BG via the caravan for the Labor Day gathering check out the threads in 2009 National Corvette Caravan forum. There is a good number of C3VRers who are already planning on it.
