Jim & Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip to Death Valley and The Grand Canyon

[QB93Z]

Tomorrow morning, bright and early, we will get underway on a 33-day road trip across America in our 1995 Dark Purple ZR-1.

Even though it is a little chilly here in Maryland, it will be about 99 degrees when we get to Death Valley National Park. We will be staying on the western side of the park at Stovepipe Wells, CA.

We will be driving at a leisurely pace of about 425 miles a day to get to Stovepipe Wells in six days. This pace will give us time to sight-see along the way.

Jim and Lyndi looking forward to following along on your road trip. Have a safe and fun adventure.

BUMMER!! We arrive at Stovepipe Wells on Tuesday, 29 Mar and check out Friday 1 April. From there we go to Williams, AZ and on 2 April we ride the Grand Canyon Railway with a steam locomotive to the El Tovar Hotel in Grand Canyon Village.

Day 1 Drive to Grayson, KY:

It was raining for Thursday's departure so we decided to get the departure photo in the garage.




The packing for this trip went smoothly. We have been continuously up-dating our check lists. I added 1 item to the parts and tools collection. I decided that the AC blower fan speed controller was a good item to carry because it is easy to fit in and will cause a loss of AC if it fails.

We drove on I-68 in the rain to about Morgantown, WV, then south on I-79 and west on I- 64. Traffic was light and it was a good ride.

We got to Grayson, KY early in the afternoon so we visited Carter Caves Recreational Park. This is a very nice Park. There are lots of activity including Cave tours, Bat viewing, hiking trails, picnic areas along a nice stream. There is a well stocked and manned visitor center, a lodge with renovated rooms and a dining room and lounge.

We took a short hike to see a natural bridge:

Are the pictures too big to view on a PC screen. PhotoBucket seems to have changed the way pictures are hosted. If I change the image size before uploading to PhotoBucket, the resize seems to be ignored.

Maybe the problem is with the Registry Forum but that used to work well so I don't think that is it.

Any ideas?

Images seem to be 50% too large. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix it.
Thanks for the online ride!

And PS. Great place to stay or eat at in the Grand Canyon.
