Another Beautiful Day in Central Florida…
And the V.C.C.A. took full advantage of it with our first drive-out of the New Year. Under the careful guidance of Buzz Gunn, 11 gorgeous Corvettes loaded to the max with 22 members headed out from Lowe’s in DeLand. We drove the lightly traveled two-lane roads of Vlousia and Flagler Counties.

After about an hour of great scenery we arrived at our destination, the Tomoka River Grill on U.S.1 in Ormond Beach. Under a cloudless sky we parked our “pride & joys” in a neat row in the black-top lot and went in to eat. Everything on the menu looked good enough to eat (joke). The clam chowder was good and Deb Prock had a fish rueben that looked big enough for two or three. Doug offered some help and between the two of them it was almost gone.

We gathered in the parking lot after lunch for some photos. The owner of the restaurant asked us to e-mail him some photos so he could put us on his web-site.

Needing some dessert, the caravan headed out to Flagler Beach and Sally’s Ice Cream. They started out for the Waffle Cone, but it was closed on Mondays. A trip around “The Loop” was thrown in for good measure and a drive down Halifax Road allowed scenery that some of us may have not seen before.

Some of us had other events scheduled and couldn’t continue. Tom Chess had other concerns. Leaving the restaurant he noticed liquid flowing from beneath his Vette. It turned out to be a leaky hose and he returned home without the help of power steering, should have been a good workout for him.

Larry & Deanna have two Vettes in rebuilding stages, Ken & Judy were out of town, Greg & Marci couldn’t make it, Greg had a Drs. appointment (hope all is well) and our newest Grandmother, Elesix, is being visited by the baby so her and Jim had to miss out also. 

It was a fine turnout and I’m sure we are all looking forward to our next excursion.

Keep the Vettes Rollin’
