Jim, I sent this to my mother, she read it end to end and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Welcome back Jim! Congratulations on completing the most epic Corvette journey ever. I am in awe that your ZR-1 with over 100k on the odometer made the trip trouble free... What was your average gas mileage?
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed every post in your lovingly rendered travel log.
I hope to see you tomorrow at the ZR-1 tent in Carlisle.

The roads in Canada have limits of 95 km/hr to 110 km/hr ( about 60 mph to 70 mph)

In Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota, a lot of the interstate highways are 75 mph.

I typically drove only a little over the limit.

Jim,

The pics were awesome. My wife and I enjoyed morning coffee and looking at pics. It inspires me for my own BHAG(big hairy audacious goal) which is to ship the ZR to England and then drive through Europe,

Jim -- Again, it was a pleasure for me and my 'better-half', Angela Morsa, to select your ZR-1 for a Celebrity Judge Award for Corvettes at Carlisle 2012 this past weekend.

The story of your "Alaskan Adventure" touched both of us. What a fantastic trip...and so much better that you and your wife traveled together in your ZR-1. We were both glad to meet you on Saturday....and we had a great time in Carlisle....even though I was busy at AllVette, and Angela was swamped with her duties as President of the Chip Miller Charitable Foundation. We always enjoy meeting our fellow Corvette and ZR-1 friends.

I am very proud to be a member of "The Brotherhood"..and, of the ZR-1 Net Registry. You are doing a great job as President of the organization. If Angela and I are ever in your neck of the woods, we'll be sure to look you up.

Again, a great story and wonderful photos...!!

Rick, it was nice to get to talk to you and Angela. Thank you for selecting the Yellow ZR-1 for an award. We got a lot of attention in northwest Canada and Alaska. Many people wanted to talk about the Corvette and how our trip was going. I told everyone we were on our way to Corvettes at Carlisle.

The ZR-1 really is a fine touring car. I encourage everyone to take your Z for a road trip. The only challenge is getting disciplined about your luggage. Then just enjoy the trip.

Seems like a decent trip...






OK, I can't type that with a straight face. This was AWESOME! Loved the photos too. That whale in mid air photo is one for the books. Lots of other very nice ones too!

Thanks for sharing your fabulous adventure with us! :Eagle:

Jim,

Read the entire travel log last night. Like a great book, I couldn't stop till I finished. I felt like I was in the back seat (?) with you and Lyndi. Thanks for sharing.
