Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
OK I give up. Anyone know the make and year of the green car in the parade. I have bought and sold probably 25-30 old British sports cars and have a 50-60 book reference library and I cannot for the life of me figure out what this car is. Has a passing resemblance to a Triumph TR 2 but with an Allard-like grill. Looks to be an early '50s car. Any ideas? Thanks, Bob

I think it is an Alvis TB. Pretty rare, made 1950 only.

Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
Day 26: Driving from Muncho Lake, BC to Fort St John, BC
On Wednesday morning we took a few minutes the get some photos of the resort and Muncho Lake:    Muncho Lake is a large, high altitude, Alpine lake. The water is very clear and the water is still because the surrounding mountains block the wind:  to be continued...... |

Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
We left the Northern Rockies Lodge and drove East on the Alaska Highway. The first part of our day was on mountain roads and along streams and lakes:
 Not far from the lodge we found this Stone Sheep on the side of the road licking the asphalt to get the salt from the winter road treatment. She was unconcerned by our presence:   We liked this small waterfall:  When the water rushes down a mountain canyon and deposits the rocks in a curved shape, it is called an Alluvial Fan:  Roads and mountains create great driving roads:  In this part of the Alaska Highway there are less services available to travellers. Many gas stations have gone out of business. Some struggle on but have decaying equipment. I got a kick out of the range of gas pumps at this station:  We inquired about the Tour Boat schedule and found out it is a Three Hour Tour:  Summit Lake and the Laird River are in the northern part of the Canadian Rocky Mountains:  to be continued...... |

Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
Here is another picturesque view of the Laird River:
 As we drove south east on the Alaska Highway, we left the mountains behind and the road straightened out and the landscape was dominated by trees:  We spotted a bear grazing on the clover in the margin area between the forest and the road:  As we approached Fort St John, we had occasional rain showers and the clouds were fascinating:  We found another Bear on the roadside:  Jim |
