It begins today - Caravan '14!
Starting on our epic 20 day journey to the NCM from Chilliwack BC Canada!
http://www.nationalcorvettecaravan.com/
We are joining the PNW group that leaves from Seattle tomorrow morning. Several stops along the way to museums and private car collections on a mainly direct route to Kentucky. Our way back will take us south with stops including Memphis, Cadillac ranch and Vegas. Bags are packed and leaving in a couple of hours! Hope to get to meet a few of you who are going as well!
Safe journey to all!

Edit - I should also add that my 14 year old son is riding shotgun!

That's a long time on the road, but should be a great and fun trip. Be safe and enjoy the Caravan and the celebration.

Thanks Howard! I'm already getting ideas for the video! I'm thinking of using the beginning part of Yello 'Oh Yeah' to introduce the video, Caravan and our initial meeting place in Birch Bay. Then cut the song off and start a new one starting with video footage of the 64 cars leaving Seattle! We've already met a couple of nice folks from the Tacoma area. One has a '13 GS and the other has a 427 vert!

We are in Billings Montana heading to Cheyenne Wyoming today. Started with 64 cars out of Seattle. Had the Canadian and local Idaho groups join us yesterday. We now total over 300! Also had a private tour of the Ressler Corvette collection... amazing cars he has there! Hopefully the weather cooporates for the rest of the trip!
