2020 ZR-1 Road Trip - Gatlinburg, Orlando and the Texas BBQ - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

QB93Z · 03-09-2020

Lyndi and I are on the road again to See The USA in a ZR-1.

This trip was planned to be a quick cruise to visit the Texas ZR-1 BBQ in April. Then I found out there was going to be a submarine crew reunion in Gatlinburg early in March so our quick trip turned into a 33-day road trip.

And then a very rare tornado in Central Maryland ripped the roof off one of our rental units. No one was hurt but the tornado did a lot of damage in Carroll County. We started immediately racing to get the $37,000 worth of repairs done before our departure date. We put in a complete new kitchen, half the floors and ceilings in the apartment with electrical and plumbing upgrades. I finished the work on Friday and we left on Sunday morning.

Day 1 was spent on I-81 South to Tennessee.

We spotted this travel van that gave us some ideas of places we need to add to our Bucket List:

This 60's era WV pickup is interesting but needs a lot of work:

In Gatlinburg we are staying at the Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort:
