Welcome to the home page for the Northern California Caravan
Labor Day Weekend 2009

Hello, my name is Steve Cleveland. I will be the Captain for the NorCal Caravan for 2009. I participated in the 50th Anniversary Caravan in 2003 and the experience was unbelievable and I am very excited about returning to Bowling Green and the NCM.

If you have participated in a prior Caravan, you know how exciting it is to be a part of a "world wide" supported event. I say "world wide" because there will be participants from outside of the USA to augment the "Greatest Sports Car in the World" enthusiasts here in the States.

 If you have not participated in an event like this, don't miss this opportunity to experience the Corvette Community in a grand way. There will be many friends and acquaintances made from all over and you will have a better understanding of why Corvettes and their owners are envied. To be able to walk up and discuss the love of the your hobby with someone or a group that you have not met prior to that moment is remarkable, especially when all they want to do is expand on the pride of ownership and the exciting adventures the Corvette brings to us.

So, don't hesitate and plan your 2009 vacation around this fantastic event! You know it will be a great experience.

The NorCal Caravan starting point will be San Jose, then traveling the I-80 corridor to the Sacramento Area for a midday stop, then on to the Reno/Sparks area for the night.

The second day will have a midday stop in Wendover, Nevada then on to Salt Lake City for the night.

The third day will be to Denver, but the exact route will be defined later as will the rest of the trip as volunteer groups and destinations are firmed up.

The route will probably be the I-70 corridor after Denver.

There have been two items brought to my attention already.

The first is the fact that four nights to Bowling Green is an aggressive drive, with Denver to Kansas City as the longest day of driving, coupled with the loss of two hours for the time changes. (This is also an item for the SoCal Route.)

The second item that was brought up was the owners of C-1 and C-2s would like even a slower pace.

The Caravan will be no longer than five nights to Bowling Green, but a sub caravan could be arranged if there is enough support by participants and volunteers.

My email address is below the photo, please contact me with any concerns, ideas or contacts that will help us plan and execute your Caravan.

Thanks,

Steve Cleveland
Captain
