Saturday, Day 1: Maryland to Sandusky, OH

The weather was beautiful for a drive. We got a nice picture of our house and a picture of the Purple Z in front of the McDaniel College Administration Building across the street:

We drove west on I-70 and the PA Turnpike, then the Ohio Turnpike to Cuyahoga Valley National Park. In a tunnel in Pensylvania the Pioneer GPS showed us a suitable graphic:

Cuyahoga Valley NP has lots of things to do. And there is a train. We will be planning a trip to this area in the future to ride, hike, and bike.

Remind me to install an antenna switch when you return. Dang Pioneer Nav has to be on at all times and that means antenna up at all times. A nuasance...:cheers:

What time on Monday do you plan to come through the Rochester MN area. I live 5 minutes from I90... Might cruise with for a little bit.

Hey Jim
During this trip are you planning on coming across the UP 4014 Big Boy steam locomotive which was recently restored to full operation for the 150 year anniversary of the driving of golden spike at Promontory Point, Utah to commemorate the joining the rails of the first transcontinental railroad? I remember seeing one of UP Big Boys when I was around five years old and my father telling me it was the largest steam locomotive ever built.

Yun,
On my Pioneer I have it set to raise the antenna only when the AM or FM radio functions are selected. Otherwise it’s down all the time.

How was it wired?

Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
 

Wired the Pioneer antenna control circuit up to the coil side of the integral antenna motor up/down control relay via dark green wire 145 removed from Bose relay. See below FSM page
Attachment 9730
