Great C3VR minds must think alike Chuck.... I took this 1 a few years back (click here to see). I made an update at the C3 Fest because the scenery is much better behind the sign now and it honors a great group.

Glad to see you got your baby back safe and sound it's a gorgeous car!

Tux,

Pete and I hit the road just after 6:00AM on Sunday.  Drove through a little rain before stopping in Bloomington for gas and breakfast.  Next stop was just north of Madison for a quick visit with his daughter and granddaughter.  Then just as we were pulling off the freeway to his home in Menomonie my phone rang - my wife Patty was calling to tell us of the bad weather that was rolling through the Twin Cities and most of Minnesota and Wisconsin.  After checking the weather radar Pete called a neighbor to see if there was an empty stall in their garage I could borrow for a little bit.  So tucked "The Beast" inside and relaxed a bit while a hefty thunderstorm rolled through.  When it passed I saddled up and continued to head west.  Drove through some more rain but nothing serious.  Arrived back at "The Ranch" around 6:30PM.

[QUOTE=CCasey] Tux,

From the looks of our signature pics it looks like we both know that you drive 1 for the nostalgia and 1 for comfort..... LOL...

Glad you guys made the trip... Hope to see you again in the future...

Hit the road yesterday 6 am with Dave and Mary, Dan the car wash man, and the Ebo's (Al & Lori). Most of the day running together until everyone fanned off in their own direction. A quick stop at Dave & Mary's to load up, out for pizza together and back on the road again until 9:30 Pm. Got soaked at a motel (no not the rain, that came today) on I80 in PA in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of chain smoking construction workers hanging out.
Took a coffee to go in one of the motel's miniature cups at 6 am again and finally landed about 7:30 pm. Traffic in Southern New England can really stink.  On the bright side the first moron to pull out in front of me happen within 2 miles of getting home.
1,250 miles each way, a gazillion gallons of gas and 4 long days traveling for a 3 day event? Was it worth it? Some things in life are priceless and just have to be done.

Joel, I'm wondering if the storms you hit were the same ones that devastated Joplin, MO later on.  Glad the two of you made it through safely.
