I want to thank, once more, danascar (Dan) and his wife Kathy along with assistance manchestershark (Mark) and his wife Shirley for putting together an incredible agenda for the 2023 C3VR Member Gathering!  Without their help it would simply not have been possible.  They picked great sites to see, great drives, great eateries and fun things to do and explore! The location of the hotel was beautiful and gave us a true picture of the Poconos. 

They spent countless hours testing out routes to drive, visiting sites, talking with managers, visiting many and selecting a hotel, and checking out and booking restaurants. Being local and extremely familiar with the area offered them a distinct advantage in planning this event. Someone from the outside, like myself, never could have put this together.

I profoundly appreciate all they did to make this such a great Gathering!

I will post a separate thread with a link to pics as soon as I have them available.

In the meantime, here are a few:

I want the whole group to know you are a great bunch! As a new member and this being my first outing with the C3 group, I was impressed with the way all of you embraced and welcomed new comers. I want to also thank Dave & Adam for letting me ride along in their cars because my car was out of commission. Looking forward to the next gathering.
