Hi all,
Here are a few suggestions I have received so far...
Cruise Coast to coast...East to West and/or West to East.
Maine to California.
LA to MN along Mississippi River
AK to Argentina...yea, Argentina!
Around Great Lakes, USA and Canada.
FL to WA
Route 66...(or has this been done to death???? as asked by a member)
Start cruise in Europe, AUS, or ?
Start cruise in Chicago or Des Moines area as it is central to the US
Start cruise in June, July or August
Have cruise in fall...color ride.
Invite other Chrysler Dodge Plymouth DeSoto Fargo groups to join in.
Try to keep muscle cars out or to a minimum ( I thought some of our cars
are muscle cars!?)
Put a limit on years the cars could be
Whatever we choose to do it should be done with a charitable goal.
Whether we as individuals find our own sponsors...per mile, one lump
sum...etc
Try for corporate sponsorship...ie: Chrysler, Dodge, Cummins,
Featherlite trailers (trailer and truck use donated from corporations
for charitable cause) Some oil or gas sponsorship, tire manufacturers,
re pro parts supplier, local Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealers etc...
Divide country into sections and have different hosts for the different
areas...ie: such as Maine to FL and West to Western Ohio, IN to Western
MN, SD West to WY, UT to WA or???
Have cruise associated with several car shows.
Start out with a momentum chosen by the group and handed from one group
to another from coast to coast. Maybe a handmade award that could be
given to the driver that tallies most miles at cruise end.
Have several stops of interest lined up and names and locations of
hotels motels.
Should there be an entry fee?
Photo shoots with major auto magazines
Interviews set up along route with local TV and radio
Well guys and gals, we have a lot of thinking to do. I said I would
work on this and I plan on keeping my word. If we choose to break it
down into sections, I think we would need section leaders to organize
their part of the tour coinciding with the next leg. I will volunteer
for the Midwest section. I also think we need a national
chairperson/spokesperson. I will leave those decisions up to the group
as a whole to decide.

Okay...I think I covered all, if not most of the ideas so far. Hash
these around for a while and we can go from there. Remember...as if we
didn't already know..."YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY"!
