Vette(s): 1971 383 Stroker- mille miglia red...5 speed
 Biloxi, Ms....settled in 1699

Beautiful beaches, 62 miles of scenic shoreline, tons of great places to eat (and drink), fresh seafood, casinos... Close to Gulfport. Sure to be some good rides just north in De Soto National Forest through several small towns...etc...beaches.. beaches! Fishing, charter boats, fishing party boats, shrimp boat tours...really no shortage of thing to do! Best time to go would be after spring break and before school's out...around first of May...could go later, just more crowded and starting to heat up!

Vette(s): 1969 Corvette Coupe. 427/435 4 speed factory installed side pipes. Verified Numbers Matching.

I second South Dakota. 

Deadwood is an historic town with lots of charm.   Nearby are two fantastic roads, "Needles Highway" and "Iron Mountain Road".  The town of Spearfish has Spearfish Canyon with breathtaking scenery on that route also.

I still like the idea of Joel's house, but it would have to be in May when it's cooler.

Anywhere than north.  A lot of the Gatherings in the past few years have been north.....not fair.  I need to meet new people in the group and see old friends in the group.  It's been too long!  So all you Northerner's could meet in the middle or come south.

So we are coming to your house then. Super! We will call this Mickifest. Call Ebo up. He can give you hints on the setup. We like good homemade BBQ, working on broken corvettes, site seeing, eating lots of food and drinking. And repeat each day. LOL
