Visit the US in September/ October and looking for funny contacts.

Hi Chevy Fans, I'm a German ships engineer and will visit in September/ October the US. ( more south regions). It should be a low cost trip to come back to the basics. I would like to meet Chevy fans and just people, to visit the country but also typical yank yards regional chevy oldtimer events and so on. If you need help on your project and spend a bed ( for a day or two or just a beer 😂😎or I can help to howl heavy parts, can escort you on the road or whatever else it would be a great adventure.

I would be happy if you send me a private mail, depends on the reaction I will plan my trip from San Francisco to NY .

Greetings and take care Gerhard.

You bet. I've enjoyed visiting Germany and look forward to return visits. My mother-in-law is from Wurzburg.

Re: Visit the US in September/ October and looking for funny contacts.

I admire your spirit of adventure Gherard! If you come as far south as Ft. Worth, Texas, you're welcome here. My wife and I were just talking this morning about possibly opening our home to guests, something like AirBnB. One of our sons has married and moved out so now there is a vacant room in the house.

Then we need to head north to meet Mark in New York and try some of his GOLD MEDAL BEER!

Re: Visit the US in September/ October and looking for funny contacts.

Its so nice guys, thanks a lot for all the warm welcomes and offers. I keep you informed what I can realize and will post it.
Hope to see you. By the way the idea to ask here in the forum was born by a good fellow in the US .
He was giving my hints years before regarding my seat refit in my chevy camper. So now the Chevy story get bigger and bigger.

I love that. Thank you again
Gerhard

Re: Visit the US in September/ October and looking for funny contacts.

Excellent I come back during my fine planning phase. Im also interested on your trucks, spare part and maintenance shops let say will be one time in my life in an oreilly shop or like this, also chevy history / museum and last not least I would like to visit a real yank yard because I read allot of this but never seen in reality.
And for sure I will not have enough time to see all��

Re: Visit the US in September/ October and looking for funny contacts.

Dear all so now the first draft is created. I was not able to follow all hints and invitations but the most.
I would not be able to go the Wisconsin Octoberfest, but Deadhead maybe during the next trip, also the way to LocDoc would not be possible this time. Anyway thank you so much for your offer.

But as you can see try to meet chevyland in Napa for a boats trip:-) ,will met the guys in the houston area, go th Ft Worth to cornerstone, see the Green Bay Packers ( hopefully the win on the 6th of october, enjoy the swap meet in hershey and will trink a beer with 72c20 custom camper in New York

Don't forget to show me your chevys please!!!

Now I'm looking/ asking for accomodation. As the trip is called back to the roots i like to stay with friends or really cheap bedrooms. Maybe you have some hints for me.

Looking forward to see you all, maybe you are able to show me a typical american yankyard too, hope we have fun together and for sure will post here about the trip.
Looking forward to see you all chevy guys.

Take care see you soon.

Re: Visit the US in September/ October and looking for funny contacts.

GerhardH I must admit, I'm a bit envious of you! I hope to be able to do this someday. It seems like it would be exciting to do what you are planning. Looking forward to meeting you! I'll be thinking on how to give you a real Ft. Worth experience, along with incorporating some quality down time and good food.
