Looks like a great way to spend a day. One of the few things I miss about living up north you just don't get vues like that in Florida.

Next fall I am planning to do a fall cruise down through the Appalachians and do the TOTD etc. done that run a few times but never in the '72. I read that there is a group from Mi doing the run this week, just a bit jealous.

Very nice pictures. Fall has to be the best weather and scenery for a cruise. Enjoy!

Heading up to Old Forge in the Adirondack Mts for lunch today. Colors are near peak and the '68 is freshly tuned. I'll post a few pics when I get back.

I might do a quick run late Sunday morning if the rain holds off, you're welsome to join in. No other cars I'm just planning a new route for a fall cruise.

It would be fun to hook up with Brian as well, do a lunch somwhere along the waterfront. Mike is probably too far away.

Now that is a beautiful cruise - very healous. It would be great for those of us in the Great Lakes area to do a cruise through to Lake George, White Mtns etc next fall. Then continue down to TOTD. I woukd think that for us on the east side of the continent that that would be an ultimate fall cruise. Be nice to pick up fellow vintage vette owners from Ontario, Quebec, Mi, Ohio, NY, Penn, WV, NC , SC Tenn and Ga along the way. Likely take the better part of a week for some of us but what a fun way to chase the leaves.

My wife and I did a test drive for our next group cruise yesterday. We got caught in the rain and amazingly the vette did not melt. 😄
