Mixing Corvettes and nature

Participants:



This event involves food (surprise).

Looks mighty good (and it was, too).

Some preparation required.

Calculating the grilling coefficients for maximum flavor.

The result enjoyed by all.

Our group!


Lotsa neat cars, food etc.


Steve, a former big block '67 owner, brought this.

Extremely detailed quilt made by his wife.  It hung in the Corvette Museum for many years.
