Vette(s): 1975 L48 Stingray 1992 LT1
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.
