CLC Trip to Gatlinburg, Tail of the Dragon, Bowling Green and Nashville
10 Corvettes - 15000 miles - lots of fun - no accidents - no speeding tickets!
August 27th - Sept 3rd
Our main reason to make the trip was to support CLC's Honorary Member Gary Claudio as he was inducted into the National Corvette Museum's Corvette Hall of Fame:
Along the way we just had to drive the Tail of the Dragon and visit downtown Nashville.
Thanks to Denny, Sue, Renee and Bill T. for the photos
