SO, I was asked by 2 new R owners, not Forum members why can't we (a small group) do a cruise like the several our Corvette gang has done so far this season. Last ime out 2 weeks ago we had 9 covettes and did the Niagara River parkway doing up river from Niagara on the Lake to Fort Erie. Several stops are made for scenic photo shoots, P stop sometimes at Tims in Chippawa, several pull overs for catch ups, once a Wine Store stop off and then finally lunch or dinner at the end. We have a few places that have taken our group for indoor dining now our limitation has eased a bit. This is still under debate as Doug Ford just pushed back the group requirements but a call to make reservations can be made once we have head count. I have five trucks committed so far. During August and September we use to do take out, park an equal car apart and get the lawn chairs out.
All legal with masks and the rest of the covid regalia. Well Barry this is kind of an agenda and hopefully you and a few Northerers can join us. If you like looking at big monster homes and properties along the river and going past the Falls you'll really enjoy it. I've done this with corvette groups many many times over the years. This is my backyard.

Thanks for your interest. Since this is deemed Non Essential I dont think the Border will allow entry. I know we cant enter US.
We have 5 confirmed so far. Would you believe 4 are yellow.
Stay tuned as we progress further.

I’m near Peterborough depending on the date I would be interested. I am new to the forum and would be interested in meeting members/owners
In the Niagara area there are about a dozen owners I've met and know. Same could be true for your area. Your welcome to contact me for more details. It's a drive but lots going on down here . Hilton Garden Inn and White Oaks resort are across the street from our meet up spot..Niagara Outlet Mall.

I live just outside of Niagara Falls USA. I would like to join in with the gathering but unfortunately I cannot cross the boarder during our COVID-19. :(
Hi Marc,
We were looking for you last year. Doug said you were coming to NOTL show.
Not good for our close US fanatics right now with Covid. Thinking about another run in Spring-early summer when this hopefully is over. Several have indicated this would be a wonderful outing minus Covid concerns.

Yes indeed I had planned on coming but unfortunately at the last minute I couldn't come. 😕

Nice day for a Covid Cruze before our season ends and we put some away at month end. Lots of Niagara Landmarks evident in a few of these photos. Other forum attendee Gary (halfacoach) may add some of his. John and Harley are not Forum members..yet.

That's a lot of Doophus going on with a dash of Blur highlights. Tourists just loved it.
We were lucky to get 5 spots.
