9:00AM Departure
The Caravan kick-off
was to start from Bale Chevrolet - however, due to the estimated 1200+
Vettes, congested parking situation and such at the Bale, our mini-caravan
decided to skip going to Bale and just hit the road. As we got on
the highway, it appeared that many other folks had the same idea, since we
found Vettes all around and in front of us as we reached the highway.
We awoke to a rainy
day - of course, we used our car cover - it was soaked!!!!
The combined Caravan will head out towards its final destination, the
Nashville/Bowling Green area.

This '62 was crusing
down the highway 70+ MPH |

|
|
 |
it was
fun to look out your review mirrors to see the caravan of Vettes from time
to time |
 |
If you have ever owned
a C3 or C4, you know why these folks took a trailer |
|
|
|
|
|
|
it
rained hard at times while other times it was more of a mist or sprinkle |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Vettes
were not the first Caravan for sure - we passed a long Convoy of our Armed
Services |
|
|
|
|
|
|
we would see this '61
later, once we arrived in Nashville. |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
We ran into some road
construction which caused a delay of well over an hour |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
The
police were coming back on the inside median as we were stopped waiting -
we thought maybe it was a bad wreck but it wasn't |
|
|
|
|
|
|
finally we got thru the construction and traffic thinned out to a nice
pace again |

"CINBOB"
cruising up behind us |
|
|
|
|
|
|
There
is nothing like seeing the early 'glass running down the highway! |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
The closer we got to
Nashville, the more Vettes we saw and the heavier traffic became |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Bransom's went on
to National Corvette Museum (NCM), which was the destination of all 50th
Caravans. Since we had to get cleaned up and to the NCCC event, we
stopped in Nashville @ our hotel |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Bowling Green security was present at the NCM |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The sign told all -
now for 4 days of 50th Celebration Festivities!!!! |
