I wish, I was in 4 national parks this August:
Badlands

Yellowstone
Grand Tetons

but I had the family and was using my Dads minivan.. so no vette

Actually my IPhone 4s camera is better than any other camera I have

My wife and I did a ZR-1 Road Trip to Alaska and western US and Canada in August 2012.

Here we are in The Badlands of South Dakota:

Here is Lyndi with the Yellow 1994 ZR-1 at Moraine Lake near Banff, Alberta:

Here we are on the Alaska Highway:

Took a great trip through the SouthWest this spring, 2100 miles on a rental car (Las Vegas to ABQ):

Zion
Glen Canyon
Antelope Canyon
Grand Canyon
Meteor Crater
Petrified Forest/Painted Desert
Sandia Peak
Bandolier
Carlsbad
White Sands

and a host of smaller sights in between. Tremendous amount to see out there and seems like a different planet from the great north woods. Compared to New England, where you can hit 5 states in an hour if you work at it, everything out there is 1/2 day drive apart.

If I had to pick only one it'd be Yellowstone, caught that a few years ago.

Would have been a lot more fun in a C4 but too many people,

love to do another trip to the dragon this fall

anyone in? maybe defer until spring to head to BG via this route

I have a friend that bought a Sports Bar down in NC and he'd welcome a group of hungry/thirsty zroners

haven't done the dragon yet

also,

anyone going to SGC this year?

Back when I took this I suggested we urge members who live near our national heritage and monuments to do the same. Not much follow through. I'd live to see a Z up front of the statue of liberty, freedom tower, stone mountain, el capitan, washington monument, bunker hill, lincoln monument, jefferson monument, the arch in St. Louis, the alamo, old faithful, grand canyon, little big horn, Mt St Helens etc many more

I'll work on getting one of Mt St Helens. So far this is the only one I have on the list but it's one of the grandest we have:

Scottfab, awesome picture! I live about 90 min from the arch, but it is really hard to get a good perspective picture of that thing! Too much urban jungle in the way.

Jeff, I took the same trip in June. I was blown away by Yellowstone (first time there), and then stunned by the beauty of the Tetons!

Here are some phone pics from that trip. Heading or this coming Tuesday wth the wife to tour the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, Mammoth Cave, then on to the NCM. No Natl. momuments, but good photo ops.
