Welcome to our ongoing coverage of the 2009 Reds Winter Caravan, which kicked off this morning at the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum. This year’s Caravan participants gathered with local media, Reds front office staff and a handful of fans at the Hall before departing for their first destinations.

This year’s Caravan features three tours for the first time ever and will cover more than 2,600 miles over four days, with 16 fan stops along the way.

Stay tuned to this blog over the next four days for updates and photos from all three legs as the Caravan continues.
