(self-note to suggest that next year's caravan be at near-to-speed-limit so we all stick together like glue and the not involved A-to-B driving non-vetters' can check us out as they pass in the left lane ... because some were exercising their rubber necks!)
Some were "exercising" their rubber tires on this cruise
Ya, together closer is nice to get more shots of all cars. I have done Gymkana events ( do things while autocrossing ) so I am qualified to snap ( pics ) while driving. I do pay attention ahead of me when driving and doing the odd pic

I kept a copy of the driver mirror pic ... self absorbed again because it's me that was first behind

I was the Leader of the Cruise, I had the cruise set on 100 kph on 2A, dropped to 70 going past Wolf Creek and part way up the C&E Trail, then back to 100kph. There should have been No reason for anyone not to be able to keep up. It's pretty simple follow the Vette in front of you at a reasonable spacing, don't idle along in your own little world, as there are other people behind you.
Rant over.
Since my wife Heather will be with me on the Lake Louis Cruise. She loves doing rolling shots with all the cars. As long as we are on Divided Highways, its more safer and easier to accomplish well as long as everyone follows her orders. And she'll do mirror shots as well on curves. We'll talk about it on the Lake Louis thread. Here's one of BabyRay.Yes, you lucked out.
Actually on the Lake Louise Mountain cruise I pass people a bunch of times to try get shots of each cars.
I took 5-10 mirror shots and only 1 or 2 were clear.
Your welcome.
Brian

Glad you made it. Love the color of that car!
This afternoon I met with Big Brothers/Big Sisters and presented the donations in the name of the Canadian Corvette Forum.
They were extremely pleased and extend their gratitude to everyone involved.
With experience in the past, I would strongly suggest that next time we cruise through any city with traffic lights. Is that we double up or take 2 lanes( if possible ) side by side when doing the speed limit anyways. Because at some point in time some may get stuck at the lights therefore some people may get lost if this happens. By doubling up, it cuts our line in half, with a better chance everyone could make the lights. Then we also have about 3-5 local people at different parts of the line incase of not able to keep up with car in front of you. Stagger the locals like e.g. Lead car(local), more cars, then Local car, more cars, then Local car, more cars, then Last car( Local).
Then if the line breaks up, next Local car takes the lead if necessary. and so forth. Try our best, that,s all and SAFELY. When a turn is approaching. signal early enough so everyone can ZIPPER together for the turn UNLESS its a double turning lane.
I've experience this enough that some get lost and are left out. I'm sure others have had this happened before too.
Otherwise like Brian had some do, Get the Glympse APP. It works quite well.
Just my two cents. No stepping on anyones toes here I hope.
