Shipped '69 and Z06 to Florida
Well, today was the big day! I just shipped the '69 and the Z06 to Ft. Myers in preparation for our final move. I am flying down this weekend to take delivery of the cars. With the '01 vert already residing at our house in Ft. Myers, this leaves us Vette-less until we sell our house here in Maryland. Hopefully we will be there full time in the next couple of months.
I took a few pictures of the cars while they were being loaded. I hope this photoshow works!

Worked for me.... 
I was trying to recognize the landscape, but I guess a lot has changed in that neck of the woods since I lived there.
Hope the move goes well.

I noticed it to but thought it had to do with Band-Aids.
The Vid was awsome-great job.

Hey BM!,
Here in Maryland, I live out in the country and my house is in a dead end community. The transporter's rig is about 80 feet long so he could get in my community but would never be able to turn around. So, I had to find a place reasonably close that had a parking lot that was large enough for him to setup and load the cars. The closest place was a local Rite-Aid a few miles from the house. It worked out great.
I am flying into Ft. Myers on Friday and the truck is supposed to arrive Sunday morning. He has another pickup in New York tomorrow morning then a delivery in Raleigh, NC on Friday. Then he will deliver my two on Sunday. At least that is the current plans.

Thanks Rich! I hope the move goes well also.
For reference, the Rite-Aid is at the corner of Rt. 152 and Pleasantville Rd in Fallston. There was a shot of the '69 in the parking lot just before the transporter arrived and the road in the background is Rt. 152!
I had called Tom Sunday (he is the transporter and also a member of the Cumberland Valley Corvette Club) before the Memorial Day holiday and told him that he cars would be ready to be picked up any time after the holiday weekend. I got a call yesterday morning tell me that he had a truck ready to pick them up today. So, I did not have much time to get the cars packed, and the hardtop on the '69, or I would have gone and gotten you a big can of Utz's chips. Not sure how I would have gotten them from Ft. Myers to the panhandle of Florida, but I am sure we could have figured something out!
I'll let everyone know how my babies faired during their trip!
Rich
