Thanks all to all that showed. We don't have many of these meets where everyone that showed went on the cruise!!!
What a turnout, what about 500-600 cars in Aliso?
And a special thanks to Jerry Majer for leading us out of the parking lot, all the way to PCH...AND THEN TURNS THE WRONG WAY!!! You had a 50-50 chance and you blew it.
Gosh, he even had a navigator, flesh and blood (grandson) and he still went the wrong way. Glad none of us crashed trying to go the right way.
And I thought I could trust you to lead...you're right up there with Pat!!!
Glad I've never turned the wrong way or gotten lost!!!
Hope to see everyone on the 28th for the Grand National Roadster Show at the Pomona Fair Grounds!!!

A great day: weather, folks, courtesy from all drivers around me, no tow trucks and NO tickets!!
The Navy calls even choices 50/50-90. With a 50/50 chance, 90% of the time ya pick wrong! We luv ya doc (but I did start on a diff route with Rick tucked in close) Bill made it 3 C5s in a row when his white coupe tagged along in Lake Forest.

What? Me go the wrong way?
Hey, life is an adventure. You go the wrong way but you’re still in a corvette on a beautiful day. Wow! Sparky will never let me lead again. I guess Pat and I will leave the “wrong turns “ to Sparky.

Actually, 'cruise' attendance was around 120% as not all showed in Orange.

We don't need no stinkin' pics!
Okay, for those of you too hung over to get out of bed for my birthday:
0730 - cars starting to show in spite of very foggy conditions.
Couple of old timers trying to thumb a ride.
As usual Cobras, Cobras, Cobras. Seem to always have trouble keeping the hoods fastened, or even ON.??
This poor guy took 30 minutes to land. Every time he turned final, somebody else in a car beat him to the spot.

We missed the wrong turn. So we got done FIRST!
GREAT RUN! Saw Sparky while we were waiting for the maps. Took off at the front of the pack.
Guess the Sparky and the gang musta took a wrong turn. (LOL) Did burgers and Arnold Palmers at Red Robin, they opened at 11 right after we got there.

Let me tell you that you and your wife are the apex of ownership of Corvettes!!!
How many married couples buy and make sure that each other has the BEST Corvette has to offer!
I have never made a proclamation in the 13 years of The Block...but, you two are held in our highest esteem...
God bless you both and hopefully you'll be able to grace our get togethers in 2018.

Thanks, Sparky. Jane and I have certainly enjoyed your leadership of the Block of Orange tours over the years. I know it takes a lot of enthusiasm, dedication, and hard work to pull it off. You do what you do very well and it is appreciated. We look forward to your stewardship of the Blockheads in the future. Keep up the great work!
YOU too Pat!
