Vette(s): 1969 convertible 427/390 5 speed triple black with L-88 hood; 2019 Stingray Coupe, auto, Long Beach Red; 2022 HTC, Hypersonic Gray; 1999 coupe donated to NCM

We are good for anytime in July or August. We need to avoid mid-September to October as we are going to try again to drive all of Route 66 (had to cancel last year due to a death in the family). We will likely drive up to Maine after the gathering to overindulge on lobster.

Just to let everybody know since I am relatively local to the upcoming Gathering area I have begun a search of hotels, visit locations, and dining establishments. I know it is early in the process but it would be nice to have an idea of the number of attendees which eventually will be mandatory when dealing with the hotels especially. Adam I don't know if want to be a part of this but if you can put some sort of survey on this post to get an idea of the number of people that are interested/going to the Gathering it would be helpful. Any assistance from anybody in the area would also be appreciated.

Hey Dan.

Thanks for offering to do this!  Mark (manchestershark) also offered to help out a bit. So maybe the two of you can compare notes.  I'm not sure you really need a solid count to get started. I would say based on recent number, count on 20-40 people and blocking 20 rooms at a hotel.

Let me know what you need from me.

Thanks!

Vette(s): 1972 conv, 4-speed, 350, 200hp, numbers match, rally wheels, war bonnett yellow w/white top. good condition, nice driver.

O.K. Friends and Corvette enthusiasts. We need a good time frame to set for the Gathering. Mid Summer?  Late Summer? OR, After school starts, after labor day? Let's get a Quick consensus, so we can put some air in the tires, change the oil, and get this trip on the map. Thanks in advance!

Don't know the area but would prefer August or September.  July is a bit too hot and busy for that long a drive.

Greetings!  We are unfamiliar with the Poconos, so we can’t add much to the convo. September is best for us. The A/C in our C3 needs as much cool weather boost as it can get, and Jul/Aug are busy for us.🤣

Vette(s): 2004 Commemorative Edition Coupe, Auto w/HUD. 13K miles in 2015. Sold 1982 Red Coupe

I have never been to the area so I have no idea of where to stay or what to see. But if the dates work, I will be there.

I would suggest a month when it is not too busy.

I like informal restaurants.

I like local history and museums.

Curvy back roads are always a plus.

Just don't pack 7 days of sightseeing into 3 days.
