Frost Bite Tour & Conclave 2010

[Carlos Cruz]

My Fellow Healey Enthusiasts,

Seeing Rob's note brings back fond memories of my friends in the Great  
Northwest.  I hope this finds you all in good health and warm  
spirits.  The idea of the Frost Bite Tour raises my anticipation of  
getting the Healey out and on the road again.  Unfortunately the  
ground hog here hasn't been cooperating.  We have 18" of fresh snow  
and temps in the teens.  Don't even get me started on the wind chill.   
Let's just say the Mistress is put away and will continue to slumber  
for another 6 - 10 weeks before it sees the light of day.  Have a  
great tour and take a moment to think of us poor souls still digging  
out.

I realize it's probably a little too early, but I hope some of you are  
thinking about attending Conclave this year.  The Midwest Region AHCA  
club will be hosting it this year in Galena, IL about three hours west  
of Chicago, along the Mississippi River in the northwest corner of the  
state.  The town of Galena is an old lead-mining town dating back  
before the Civil War.  The quaint downtown area is full of buildings  
built in the mid-1800's through the turn of the century.  Home to more  
Civil War generals than any other town in the country, you will find a  
tremendous amount of American history and pride.  The dates for  
Conclave are July 11 - 16, 2010.  More details can be found at http://www.austinhealeyconclave.com/ 
.   Having made the trip from Seattle to Chicago and back several  
times, I can suggest some great roads and sites along the way.  I'm  
looking forward to raising a pint and toasting my Cascade friends.   
The first round is on me!

Cheers,
Carlos Cruz

PS:  Becky, keep the wonderful pictures coming.  It's great to see  
everyone.
