The Vintage (V@V) caravan from Midwest?

[Luis]

Hi everyone,

I'm planning on attending for the first time. I'll be driving the 1800 from Milwaukee and posted on the Vintage forum site (http://vatthev.forumotion.net/f6-caravans-2011) but not sure how many people are visiting that forum yet. Maybe we can have a discussion there and organize something?

as we have done for some years; there have been as many as 12-14 cars in the caravan--great fun.

This year we're doing it a little different, both day and route, departing Dayton on Thursday 26 May. Our route is US 35 to Chillicothe OH, then south on US 23 to Portsmouth. East from Portsmouth on US 52 (a nice twisty back road once we're in WV) all the way to where it joins up with I-77 at Bluefield WV. From Bluefield it's I-77 through VA to the NC border, where we get on I-74/US 52 to Winston Salem.

In past years we've had a number of folks from further west come to Dayton and overnight for a 7:30 am departure. If you arrive here early enough, there's the Air Force Museum to visit, plus we usually have a dinner getogether for the overnighters and local 02ers.

Anyone who's interested, drop me an e-mail and I'll add you to the caravan e-mailing list.

cheers

Mike,

Place me on the list please to keep tabs on it. However, I'm not sure I can be there for a Thursday 7:30 am departure, if that's what you are planning. It's 6-7 hours from Milwaukee to Dayton and I can't take Wednesday off work.

Mike,

US 52 looks like a nice, squirrelly route. It also looks like our DC/Ohio gang may encounter yours on US 52 en route to the Vintage, but we'll be going the opposite direction to the same destination.

Here's our planned route from D.C.

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?gl=us&hl=en&doflg=ptm&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=212589181116429608907.00049f14f8e7f26cac9be&ll=37.788081,-79.579468&spn=3.854652,8.453979&t=p&z=8

Our route takes us on US 52 between Northfork, WV and Eckman, WV, headed south, while you folks will likely be headed north between those towns. If by some stroke of fate we're on that same short stretch of road at the same time, we'll smile and wave, and we'll do our best to have some cold beer waiting for you when you catch up with us in Winston-Salem.

Hi Luis,

I'm leading a small group of 4 cars (71-1600, 78-E21, 73-tii and a E30Baur) from Indianapolis. If you or anyone else wants to overnight in the metro Indy area, you can join us for a ~6:30am departure will arrival into Winston-Salem late Friday afternoon.

Grice . . . We are going to be on US 52 for LESS THAN ONE MILE!!! Those are some pretty long odds.
