Default Heading to NCM

Found out today that my Corvette is on display in the Engineering spot. Looked on the webcam and there it was.

By the way does anyone know if there is a bar/lounge at the Hampton Inn in BG so I can watch the game? When I planned this out 3 months ago in Iraq, I was not thinking about the Super Bowl. I hope my guide is not too hung over.

Will post pictures when I return.

First, congrats! I did mine in October. Oh so fun.

Second, doubt you'll sleep much Sunday, let alone watch the game with much interest.

I've been to BG a couple times on business as well.

On the main strip (231), theres a Buffalo wild wings and a BBQ place called Smokey bones. Both have good TV's.

231 is the main drag, and you will find plenty of places to view if the Hampton doesn't work.

Default Montana Grill.

Nice spot...that's where my delivery was too.

BTW - go to the Montana Grill...or something like that. It is the next exit down from the Museum (where all the major stuff is) and is a ways from the highway. But oh, my god, they have the BEST rotisserie chicken. Ask at your hotel or the museum. They will know it.

They will have the game on too.

Thanks all…

Kevin, nice vert, damn long drive back to CA…see you on Monday.

Steve, thanks for the offer but not sure if I want to drive back down after drinking quite a few beers, and 7:45 AM delivery appointment will be bad enough.

And now time to let them sleep for the night.

No problem man. Last year I watched the game with my best friend and some other guys. My friend (E-8) is presently in Iraq for his third tour, so thats kind of a bummer. I hope everything works out well for you. Definately post up when you get back to let us know how awesome of a ride you think it is

This road is named Scottsville. That's easier for me to spot than the Hwy no.

Engineering is a great place to take delivery, and I second the Montana Grill...great steaks and ice cold beer.

Congratulations...Gene...
