Corvettes at Fort Fisher

Late News, but of interest.

On January 5th, a Corvette club posted pictures of a cruise they made to Fort Fisher, NC. They had a good turn out with what looked to be at least 40 Vettes. Great shot of the Vettes at sunset. They filled up the parking lot of where they ate as well as that of Fort Fisher. They also proceeded down to the end of US-421 at the Rocks. That sure had to be a sight.

Corvettes and Fort Fisher, How Could You Go Wrong? --Blockade-R

Da Vettes at Da Fort

I ran across a Corvette Forum where one of the Cape Fear Corvette Club members had posted pictures of their recent club drive( January 5th) from Wilmington out to Fort Fisher and eventually the Rocks down by the old Battery Buchanan.

It would appear they had quite a turnout. Too bad, they didn't take more pictures by the fort museum, but I especially liked the pictures of the Vettes out by the Rocks as the sun was setting.

The Rocks, were a successful attempt after the end of the war to close New Inlet to prevent silting of the Cape Fear River. Now, only Old Inlet remains near Southport. New Inlet was a favorite spot to run the Union blockade during the war because it was protected by the guns of Fort Fisher.

Too bad the club didn't plan their run to coincide with the reenactment the following week. What a combination that would have been.

Corvettes and Fort Fisher

Talk about two of my favorite things in the world. This January 5th, the Cape Fear Corvette Club is planning a cruise from Jeff Gordon Chevrolet, I imagine in Wilmington, NC, to Fort Fisher where they'll tour the museum and mounds.

Then, there will be a lunch meeting at Mike's Sea Food in Carolina Beach.

Boy, would I like to be there for this event.
