Re: ZR-1 Alaskan Adventure Travel Log
Jim:
I was at a club car show this past weekend and ran into a couple, that are also members, and they said they met you in Alaska. Hello from Carl and Carolyn. And thanks for the wonderful trip. =D>

Re: ZR-1 Alaskan Adventure Travel Log
Hi Joe, I met Carl and Carolyn in Talkeetna, Alaska. Wonderful folks, I enjoyed talking to them.
Since we have been back from our trip, many people here in Westminster have told me how much they enjoyed watching the adventures of the Yellow Corvette. Some even know what a ZR-1 is now. I am very happy to have been able to share our fun. We got a nice write up in our local newspaper: (It is nice to live in a small town where a Corvette award makes the paper) http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/up...0de7aea6c.html Jim |

Re: ZR-1 Alaskan Adventure Travel Log
Jim - I'm VERY late to the congratulatory huddle but want to add Therese and my thanks for the fantastic threads - both prep and travel blog.
The pictures and commentary are first rate and truly convey a "you are there" quality. Hope to meet you at the Gathering next month. John
