Who is Lost Caravan Corvette Club?
Birth of the Lost Caravan Corvette Club
| It was the end
of a beautiful day spent at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling
Green KY, and the conclusion of a fantastic week of getting to know
new friends and Corvette owners from all across the US, Canada, Europe,
and even Australia who all came together to be apart of the 50th Anniversary
Corvette Caravan and celebration of America's True Sports Car -- Corvette.
Along with new caravan friends, we had seen, driven and experienced
life-changing and unforgettable moments as we traveled together with
the Mid-Atlantic Caravan from SIlver Spring, MD, to Roanoke, VA, to
Knoxville, TN, finally arriving at our destination in Bowling Green,
KY. |

As we relaxed after dinner, the conversation was all about all the
fun we had together and the need to keep in touch with each other
so we could continue the excitement associated with the Corvette caravanning
experience. Sitting at Outback's bar, across from the Drury Inn in
Bowling Green, KY, and following a few more libations of one's personal
preference, the thought hit us to form an Internet-based Corvette
club. And with a quick sketch of what became the LCCC logo on the
back of a cocktail napkin, the Lost Caravan Corvette Club (LCCC) was
born. |
| Why the name ... as the following photos show ... when over one-hundred
Corvettes take a wrong turn on a back road in a small Kentucky town,
the result of getting lost becomes less a nuisance and more part of
the adventure. Then once together heading deeper onto unmarked "moonshine
roads" and told to turn at the green water tank (which turned out
to be a cart with a green tank in a cow pasture), we were "Lost
Again," and spent the next hour trying to find our way to a local
church parking lot to regroup. As we all waited for all of the lost
Vettes to find their way, one of our caravan leaders entertained us
all with his ""professional" cow calling, to which
all of the local cows attended and came over to him. It was was a
hilarious sight to behold. What a blast! And to paraphrase our first
LCCC President, Dan Woomer, " What's it matter if we are lost,
we're driving Corvettes. It's all about the journey not the destination."
|
| The Mid-Atlantic Caravan begins to reform on Cooks Road as the Caravan
leader finds and brings all of his "lost" Vettes back together. |
|
|
Vette "round up." This time
at the little country church. |
Professional cow calling lessons from our caravan leader.
Well he was having trouble keeping all the Vettes together, might
as well try cows! |
|
| So with the 50th Anniversary celebration of America's
True Sport Car - - Corvette - - as our catalyst, our mission was clear:
To bring together Corvette owners throughout the US and Canada to
experience the thrill and excitement of a caravan of Vettes cruisin'
down the open road to destinations around North America. With a story
like this, how best to describe Lost Caravan Corvette
Club then It's all about Fun and Caravanning
Too. |
