Arrived home on Tuesday the 20th I'm a little heavier and my car probably a little lighter 5000 km of rubber left behind.  I have to say its one of the greatest things I have ever done I am so glad I went and I will do my best to make it to another when it gets a little closer.  I will be sharing the photos with some corvette owners around here it would be nice to see the same enthusiasum here as I seen there it is good to know that there are some great people out there that suffer from the same disease that I do, now all I have to do is get one of those save the wave hands and some t shirts to boast my pride.  I look forward to keeping in touch with you on the site and it would really be nice if someone had a list of everyone that was there and there partners  with there c3 name so I will be able to tell who they are, there was way to many to remember at the time.  I am gratefull for all who put this event and this site together, and oh yeah... Dan I got you a new loonie and toonie so i'll try and get it out in the mail.  When I got home Dwight informed me that the 8640 was hooked to the cultivator fueled and ready to go, the 7410 hooked to the disc and the 4230 hooked to the rockpicker, take my pick! so much for missing some of the work.

Glad to hear you made it home safe and sound.  Sorry about the round-a-bout way we ended up taking around the Twin Cities.  I didn't know about that road closure for the weekend but the detour didn't take us too far out of the way.  Hope you managed to sneak in behind that mess of weather in North Dakota.  On Monday we got 2.5 inches of rain out of that system...!!!

Glad you were able to make it for The Gathering...!!!  See ya down the road...!!!

Cindy.........It was a pleasure to meet you this past weekend in Wisconsin and I'm glad you made it home safely.  Wow what a trip!  Do you know what they say about your first C3VR Gathering?  You will want to make it to a 2nd and a 3rd and a 4th and so on.  Hope to see you again.

Hey Cin,

Like the other good emails posted here, we're so glad you made the trip and returned home safely. It was terrific meeting you and traveling together from Minneapolis to WI and back, along with the Olson's, Wally, Pete, and Dave and Nadene. (Thanks again for the Canada coins!) This was our first time attending as well and Judy and I had a load of fun over the five days sharing with everyone. Thank you again to all the organizers and to everyone else for making us feel welcome. Enjoyed meeting many new Vette friends. Our White '94 (the beast) ran perfectly while chewing through a lot of premium gas! Great road time, great gathering, great people. Hope to attend future events in our '76, '01 Z06, or the '94 "beast" again. Everyone take care!

Mike and Judy Anderson

It's always great to hear reports like this from C3VR Gathering "virgins"! Never seen one yet that had anything bad to say about the meet, the people, or the cars. The only bad ever heard is usually about the weather!  LOL LOL
This is a super group of folks here at C3VR to start with...meeting some of them(even Albo!) in person is even better, and makes the whole experience a life changing event. Hug
Folks...the next time a Gathering takes place in your neck-o-da-woods, ya GOTTA go! Tongue

A big thank you goes out to all the folks who put this gathering together. A lot of hidden effort goes into turning a gathering like this into the success it was. Patty and I enjoyed every aspect of the voyage, especially the friendly crowd and making "newbies" feel welcome. They say if you want to enjoy a vacation, hang out with people with the same mental disorders you have. Thanks again and see you in Pa. and maybe sooner..........
