Pacific Northwest

Washington, Oregon, Idaho & Western Montana

Greetings Northwest Corvette Enthusiasts:

The 4th National Corvette Caravan returns for 2009 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the opening of the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The event runs over Labor Day weekend Sep 3-5, 2009. As many of you know, the corvette caravan is a great way to meet your fellow corvette owners and see the countryside. Since we have the privilege of living in the beautiful Northwest we will get to see some of the best scenery along the way while joining our sister caravans on our drive.

I am your caravan captain, Bob Gunderman, and hope to make this a phenomenal experience. I was the Northwest Caravan captain for the 2003 caravan and participated in the 1999 caravan. Each caravan has been larger and more enjoyable that the prior. With your help we will make this the best caravan yet!

Tentatively, I anticipate a 5 day drive. We will begin in several locations in Oregon and Washington such as Seattle, Portland and Spokane and will join up in Pendleton, Oregon with the first day’s drive ending in Boise, Idaho. On the second day we will leave Boise with a stop in Twin Falls and end the day in Salt Lake, Utah. We will join the Northern California caravan there and connect with the Utah corvette clubs. On the third day we will drive on to Denver, Colorado with a probable stop in Grand Junction, Colorado. On the Fourth day we will drive on to Kansas City. The fifth day brings us through Missouri, Indiana and Kentucky into Bowling Green.

Many details are yet to be worked out and we may consider alternate routes through Wyoming and Nebraska. I am interested in hearing what route you, the participants want to see. This is YOUR caravan and I am here to organize it for you. I am in need of people to be caravan leaders in the Seattle/Tacoma area, Portland, Oregon area, Boise area, Vancouver B.C., and already have a returning volunteer leader for the Spokane area. Email me with your ideas since we still have plenty of time for planning.

Registration opens soon, so get your plans ready to join us in 2009 for the best Corvette experience in years!

Bob Gunderman
Captain
