The Wild Blueberry Blast is underway. Let’s keep photos in a single thread. I'll start uploading them tomorrow. Generally, I’ll put my pictures in a Dropbox folder, and will share the folder with you.

Reason: Put the 'e' in 'Bluberry'
@DJS.
Thanks for sharing the pics ! A reality view of the USA for someone that never has been (or will) visit the USA.
I'm a kind of 'travel vegitarian' : I don't leave Europe untill I've seen it all... ..and at this pace that'll never happen.
Not enough holidays..
Thanks for taking the time to post the photos. Looks like a great time. Which I was there.
Food looks great. Hope you're not getting all that rain that's on the news.
Jay has a weather control machine and knows how to use it. The blast is officially over but will live on in the photos, memories and friends made for a very, very long time. Thanks to Jay and everyone involved. Beyond expectation!!!
+1. It was a rather fascinating exhibition of weather control. When it was raining on the coastline, we were inland and dry. When we were on the coast it rained inland. When we went to visit a wild blueberry farm in the highlands of main, I thought for quite sometime that we had made a wrong right turn and we're in Scotland with the mists rolling across the fields and hills and valleys (as you'll see from the photos). It only rained while we were driving on a by short segment. Otherwise we had perhaps some clouds but dry roads and speed conditions. If it did rain it seemed to stop everywhere we were doing an outside event.
To to top it off, Jay the magician manage to arrange for fog to be in place when we visted Portland Head Lighthouse, perhaps the most iconic New England structure of its type, only to have the fog slowly burn off to reveal the lighthouse, then the coast then the ocean with bright sunshine. To top that the fog rolled right back in as we were departing the lighthouse but stayed on the coast as we enjoyed sunshine the balance of today's final events. Simply stunning alchemy.......
There will be many posts from us all about what we did, the people we met and the hospitality of Maine, but here are a few pictures to show just how goofy this weather was and how it helped make this year quite magical.
Arrival his morning. Similar scene when we departed but during our time there....another picture show a different light.
Christina's "Real" World
I think we made a wrong turn and ended up in Scotland.
It started to clear
It got clearer
Who says FTypes aren't off road vehicles?
Dry mornings
Rain everywhere but where we are
No that's a wall, New England style with the rain off in the valley in the distance.
The 2018 Wild Blueberry Blast was epic, these pictures can not begin to explain the amount of "once in a lifetime" memories had. From the 4000 calories meals, police escorts everyplace we went, many many not open to the public stops on the itinerary, Jays announcements, the "leisurely" runs between stops (lol), the sound of 15 F-Types, and most importantly the people i met! Grateful as can be to have been a part of this and many many thanks go out to the people who made this happen!
Sincere Thanks to Jay for the amount of time (although he will downplay it) this event took to coordinate AND Mike O’Rourke at Jaguar Land Rover Scarborough for saving the day and giving us the opportunity to see the I-Pace in person before its release.
Not to mention i left with more SWAG then can fit in a vert trunk, thanks to Vince for the BBQ sauce from basically my home town, Lance for the amazing detail spray that is by far the best i have used! Many more items from people that are not actively on this forum, and i can't forget Stewart and VAP for the hoodie i will be wearing often.

It is nice for those of us who did not attend to live through the wonderful photos, thanks for posting them!
Jay obviously did a great job creating another amazing drive. I have had the enjoyment of participating in several F-Type drives on the West Coast and understand the comradery formed by people with a similar passion.
Keep up the great work, Jaguar should be proud to have the F-Type driven and promoted in such a positive way!
Another unexpected gift from Mike and Scarborough JLR. Beyond that, Mike's personal participation, comradeship and support to our group was special. Maybe someone with good photos could post?

DJS is preparing a photo shoot with all the goodie bag items and gifts to share on the forum. That way all can be seen at once. Not quite sure how he is going to get it all to fit in one shot but then again the man’s photo skills are second to none.
We had an incredible time this weekend at the Wild Blueberry Blast and met some fabulous other owners and people. I'm still going through photos and uploading so I will update this thread in the future. That said, my girlfriend captured this short video of the F Types rolling out of the blueberry farm on a dirt track -- what an amazing experience it all was.

Omg how could I forget the rain jacket?!? Came in handy for a few sprinkles and the boat ride!
