The 12th of June '99 was a cold rainy Sunday in northern Virginia but the folks from the Mason-Dixon Classic Chevy were hosting the North Eastern National Classic Chevy Convention in Salisbury, Maryland. �I had to go. Mama decided to sleep this one out and my trusty side-kick Long Haul Balls had headed back to his family in the desert. �So, it was going to be a solo trip. �Your dear old Webmaster loaded the�camera, a�mug of hot coffee�and a couple sodas into the Jeepster and we were on the road again. From the northern Virginia-DC area Salisbury is a little over 2 hours drive. �The drive over the big bay bridge from Annapolis was quite a�sight. �The white-capped waves on the Chesapeake Bay looked very cold! �I was toasty in the Jeep even if the soft-top was looking a little rough from about 5 years of wear and tear....but that is another story. ���Anyway, it was early in the morning so traffic was a�piece of cake. This bridge is infamous for some very ugly traffic jams. �Coffee Shops in the small beach towns along the way looked inviting but I pressed on for Salisbury. �
Unfortunately, the�12th�was the�last�day of the�convention. �I arrived at�the Holiday Inn as several Classics were getting ready to depart the area. �Darn it. Luckily, I snapped a few shots of these fine classics before they got away...��� |
