ZR-1 Road Trip 2014 - California or Bust - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

QB93Z · 03-31-2014

Hello to the ZR-1 Net Registry Forum. This year, for our ZR-1 Road Trip, Lyndi and I decided to travel in April and beat the heat. We will be getting underway (Navy lingo) on April 1st and heading west. Here is the Big Picture:

Our plan is to visit the Southwest and California. The major destinations include the Grand Canyon, Byrce Canyon, Black Canyon on the Gunnison, Mesa Verde, Zion, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. The return route takes us on I-70 in the Glenwood Canyon.

The trip will be 29 days, and about 7,000 miles.

And just to prove that the weather in Maryland has been terrible this Winter, here is my garage this morning at T-20 hours and counting (NASA lingo):

Which ZR-1 are you taking?

QB93Z · 03-31-2014

We will be taking the YELLOWZ. It is the one that Lyndi prefers to take long trips in. She says the other ones are too loud and too aggressive. The Yellow ZR-1 gets noticed. On the Alaska trip, people would come up to us and say that they saw us two days ago in such and such a place.

Looks like a cool trip!
I live 4 miles south of the 220 mm on I-70, West of St Louis. Depending on the day/time you come through we might have to meet at a gas stop or something. Let me know when you get closer to that time and I will give Ya my #...
