Make your plan now. VCOA in the middle of NYS Finger Lake region. Historic Trumansburg is north and west of Ithaca, NY [Cornell University].
I am organizing a convoy from North Carolina to Trumansburgh.
As a refugee from the great “tax state” of NY, I can assure you we’ll be visiting the best wineries, concert venues and the 1000 Islands. Niagara Falls? [Passport required.]
The great “Volvo Tour de NYS.” 
Of course, I’ll have my tools and a tow strap.
Who is in? [even if remotely interested]
Please advise.
