This thread is worthless with out picks!
But, what the heck, it was a pleasant surprise! The wife and I decided to take a road trip yesterday from Boise to Jackpot Nevada and spend the night. It’s about 170 miles away with the majority of it 2 lane highway and much of that follows the Snake River through the Thousand Springs area. When entering town we noticed 5 or 6 Corvettes parked together at a casino that we were not staying at. We thought that was cool. An hour later we walked over to the “Corvette” casino and there were 20 Corvettes and new arrivals by the minute! Turns out they were having a regional show & shine today at a local park so of course we stopped by. Pretty cool, there it was, 75 Corvettes together in the middle of nowhere! The majority were C5’s and I was able to listen to a few exhaust systems to boot. Oh, and another thing that made me chuckle. I originally parked on the street but a guy said hey, park that Corvette on the grass, to which I said that I was not part of the show and just wanted to look. He responded that he didn’t care and that a Corvette doesn’t “deserve” to parked on the street and need to parked on the grass with the others. 
Another kicker was when my wife mentioned that I should swap my 87 Vert for a C5 Vert!
Sorry I didn’t have a camera and sorry that I’m so long winded. It was just a real treat of a weekend!

Your wife has the right idea. 
Nice that you had a good time and was able to take in a car show to boot.
