Default The C3 ROAD TRIP PIC THREAD...No-car show pics...Please...

I don't like a lotta' Rules, so just keep the car show pics in their own Thread.

I've seen some very good Road-trip pics post by Individuals C3ers from around the World in the last 13 years.
Can we dedicate a Thread just to Road trips, even if it's just your car, or maybe you got together with some friends.
I don't care if the Road-trip lasted 30 minutes or 30 days...just as long as you are having fun.
Shake-Down cruises also!
PLENTY of pics are require/narrating is Optional.
I DON'T CARE if it was 10 minutes ago or 10 years ago...AS LONG AS YOU ARE HAVING FUN!

This Thread is a spinoff of:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...cs-please.html

DID I MENTION NO CAR SHOW PICS, PLEASE!?

OHHHH...YOU CAN THINK BOUT IT...JUST DON'T DO IT!

I live in North West Connecticut, took my 93 year old Mother for a ride in the Corvette, we stopped at Kent Falls, and then continued north to Cornwall and stopped at the local Church for a quick look.
All in all it was a great day!



Kent Falls, there was a lot of water


At the church in Cornwall

Had to stop to take this picture. A little clay race track that was once in the middle of farm fields. Slowly you can see urban sprawl getting closer. Maybe at some point, The owners of the land, will get an offer from a developer they can’t refuse. Sadly like so many others.

Speak on it! Doesn't seem to matter the direction a storm is moving, it's a Nor Easter now lol

My C3 is still in a million pieces, but I hope by next year I'll be posting pics in this thread. I plan on taking it everywhere.
