A trip across America by auto, a lifelong dream for me, and as it turns out it has always been a dream for Noel as well. We decided now was the right time to make these dream's come true! We have the car, we have the time, and we have the event, a wedding to attend in Santa Clara California.
This was an idea we hatched shortly after I retired on the last day of 2015, we had received a save the date notification for the wedding. It seemed a long way off then and now the day is here, we leave June 1st, we have a plan (east to west on old Route 66) we have 14 days to reach California, and then a drive up Highway 1 to the destination. We have maps, GPS, Guide books and the desire to fulfill this dream, we also are learning the best way to most efficiently pack a Corvette for a cross country trip.
So here we go, ready or not, California or bust, oh boy, the excitement builds, we are off.

We Hit the Road!
We were a little late out of the starting blocks, but we hit the road about 2:30 westbound. We headed through Canada and reached our first nights destination around 8pm, Macomb (Near Detroit) Michigan where our hosts for the evening, Clint, Jill, Colin and Drew were awaiting our arrival. It was a beautiful drive, sunny and warm, the borders were quick, and we only hit a little rain the last 30 minutes on the road.
