Sad to say we won't make it this year, due to complications like picking up Karen's new Z06, my HS reunion, etc. Big week in our lives!
But we did it last year, and the BBB is awesome! If you are in CA/NV/AZ, you should be there!

Some had reservations at the Majestic Moose Lodge. A few in my club did. The Lodge changed ownership and cancelled all the reservations. Some of the members wouldn't have known this until they arrived. Unfortunately, I can't get away that weekend. I called to cancel my reservation. That's how I heard about the mass cancellations. So, if you were going to stay there, you need to make other arrangements ASAP.

Hey if your coming thru Redlands(you almost have to.) I would consider the part of the caravan from Redlands up most of the back side. 
Just make an estimated time you'll be here, I would like to join. But I am not staying up there. When you get close to the Inland Empire, listen to KCAL 96.7. It rocks!!! Then turn up that Bos stereo very loud.
Perhaps we could meet at the Albertsons super-market on Orange by the 10 freeway in Redlands. Its on the way to the 38. You would have to get off here anyways.
From Riverside 91sux interchange and Los Angeles areas
Take 10 East
Get off at Orange exit.
Go thru the stop sign to Orange st.
Turn right on Orange.
Albertsons will be on your left.
There is also a Trader Joes there if you need to pick up some good imported beer.
I will check back around 11pm or so.

Hi folks...I was there...although it was late on Saturday...missed all the activities, but it was neat to see all the vettes around town. I didn't know about this till sat afternoon, but will certainly be there next year.
Interesting point though...all the C4/C5's were happy to wave at me, but passed a few C2/C3's that simply ignored me. Is this common?

Dave - sorry we missed BBB this year, but it was for a "worthy" cause!
Karen's Z06 is just an awesome beast: it is, bar none (my car included), the best highway car I've EVER driven, in terms of how "planted" it feels. (Yes, she has let me take the wheel from time-to-time.) It does have considerable road noise on some surfaces, but I think overall it rides much better than a stock Z51 with EMT's over just about any highway surface you put it on.
Today we went from southeast Denver to St. George, UT. Give or take, 640 miles. Elapsed time 10 hours. Excluding lunch at Mom's Cafe in Salina, UT, potty breaks, gas refills and driver changes, total time on the highway was probably about 8.5 hours. Do the math to compute average speed. (We're holding back a little on top speed due to concerns about having the bra on the car, and not wanting the thing to come loose at 100+ and beat the crap outta the paint.)
Average fuel consumption for the trip from Memphis so far has been around 23mpg. Today we got 25mpg, and were rarely UNDER 90mph.
I gotta get me one of these!
Home tomorrow (Tuesday). We should be there by noon Pacific time. Get the bugs off and start to Zaino....
Count two more 'vettes at Big Bear next year!

Steve and Karen:
I hope that by the time you see this it is safe to say WELCOME HOME.
WE ALL MISSED YOU GUYS at Big Bear, But the Run From Memphis in a New Z06 would clearly have been More Fun for sure.
When is the Zaino Party, We'll Try to Organize the Group for "Labor" help, some Pizza and Beer ( on us this time ) and to Hear All About the ROAD TRIP.
