On The Road Again... Jim & Lyndi's 2023 ZR-1 Road Trip to Yellowstone

[QB93Z]

...On the Road Again - We are underway on our ZR-1 Road Trip for 2023. We left Westminster, MD on Thursday. We will be driving about 6 hours a day: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota and Utah. A few days at the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park.

Then we will visit Park City City, UT for a week, drive to Durango, CO to ride the Silverton and Durango railroad to Silverton, CO. We are going to visit the Royal Gorge in Colorado, then drive to Branson, MO for a week.

Two days home through Lexington, KY.

Our get away photo was taken on Main Street in front of our house, Lyndi is proud of her flowers:

I am still working on how to post our photos on PhotoBucket. I will post more pictures in the future.

Have a great trip Jim. If coming through Illinois and near Chicago, check in and we can have lunch with Marc. FYI I gave up on Photobucket years ago. --Bob

Hope you and Lyndi have a fun, safe trip. If this is your first time on the train in Durango, it is absolutely beautiful. I went for the first time last year and plan on going back as soon as I can. If you get close to North Platte, NE you should check out Union Pacifics Bailey Yard/Golden Spike Tower??the worlds largest railroad yard at 8 miles long.

We drove to Fort Dodge, Iowa today. The weather has been beautiful and we have time "doing things along the way". I set this trip up with about 450 miles a day so we have time to sight see along the way.

I would like to dump PhotoBucket, but I have thousands of pictures on PhotoBucket that support all of the Road Trip threads and WAZOO threads that might be lost.

I think that my current problem with posting pictures is an overlap of file names from current images and the images files from the past. I am working on a solution.

Stay tuned... I will get this working.

On Sunday, we drove across South Dakota to the town of White River, population 581. We found a Dollar General store, The Sweet Spot Motel which is brand new, with 8 rooms (we got room 107), no operating gas stations, and the Round Up Bar and Grill, a friendly place with cold beer and nice people.

During our drive we saw a feature on several barns that I haven't before. It looks like a large cupola, but it sits atop the barn like a cross wise dormer.



Later on I saw a barn with the structure on the roof and a feed auger run up to it. So, I assume it is set up to convey live stock feed loft:

I am still trying to get way to post pictures. I tried the ZR-1 Net Registry App. When I open the App, I can see the commands on the screens but no threads are shown under any of the Subjects and I cannot access any way to upload anything to the site.

Is the ZR-1 Net Registry App still in use?
