Hi All.
Yes unfortuneatly it is that time again. Soon we will all be putting our vettes to sleep for the winter months.
Last Fall i attempted to have a BBQ at Round Valley state park in NJ. I wasnt so well equipped for the job and we were missing some items but we all made due with what we had and we all had a good time. Last year we had 7 vettes including my fathers C5.
This year i would like to get even more or atleast the same members again.
It will be at the Round Valley State Park. It will most assuredly be on a weekend. I just need to get an idea of what weekend would be best for all to meet up and a rain date.
It is a beautiful ride in NJ and beautiful walks and by the time we get this squared away we will get tons of trees and plants changing colors. it is really a great time.
I certainly hope to see you all and i am starting this now to give us all plenty of advance notice. Oh and remember if you want to show up all you have to bring is yourselves. if you want to go but your vette isnt road worthy or you dont want to chance it, don't. Just take your regular vehicle of choice and come that way. I will be supplying some more of the event as it gets closer and we can make a list of what everyone can bring or wants to bring.
I hope to hear from you all and your ideas and input.

Roundvalley State Park's address is (for mapquest users to do directions):
Round Valley Recreation Area
1220 Lebanon-Stanton Rd, Lebanon, NJ 08833
I called the park for this address and they said that Google Maps is the only one that recognizes the road they are on for some reason.
The weather channel says for Lebanon, Nj for Sunday is Mostly Sunny, 20% chance of rain and a High of 56 Degrees. Remember to bring a sweat shirt or jacket. all parking locations are very close to the lake and we won't know till we get there which direction the wind is blowing.
Bring your folding chairs if you have any. I have one i will bring for me. and i will look into a blanket if I have one. If any of you have blankets i suggest bringing them since the tables and benches are all wood, most likely are going to be damp and wet from the day before being rained on.
Here is the link to the Park for more info:
At The entrance of the park there will be no sign. The park has 3 parking lots where tables and grilles are available.
I will be bringing a C3VR banner as well to hopefully hang up somewhere.

Thanks.
