Jim & Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip to Death Valley and The Grand Canyon - Page 9 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Day 31 We left Branson early and headed East for the first day of the drive to Maryland. The weather was warm but very windy. I don't know if the winds caused this cloud formation, but it was interesting:

The fields are starting to grow:

We drove north on I-44 then in SE St Louis we turned on to I-64 East. We got a nice view of the Arch:

Our destination for this leg of the trip was Corydon, Indiana, just west of Louisville, KY. Corydon is a nice small town with a well restored downtown city square. Corydon has the distinction of being the first State Capital of Indiana:

After we checked in to our hotel we walked over the a near-by hamburger restaurant called FlipDaddy's. It was a really nice place to toast the day. I spotted Bacon on the menu and ordered some. We got a pan with bacon strips. There were sweet brown sugar glaze bacon and sweet glaze with spicy pepper bacon. It was great!

Day 32 Heading Home

We drove from Corydon, IN to Charleston, WV which was going to be an over-night stop, but we decided to push on and made it Home on Sunday Evening.

Over-all our trip covered 15 states in 32 days. We drove 6,813 miles. The Purple Z now has 94,125 miles on the odometer.

The only technical issue was low AC Freon on the last day. We made a quick stop at AutoZone to get a charging can. Problem solved!

The trip was a success. Only a couple of adjustments of lodging. We enjoyed all of the places we visited and added some things to our Bucket List for a future trip.

Thank you for all of the nice comments.

Looks like a good trip Jim! Wish I would have seen it sooner, my parents live in Hollister and could have given you some tips and a place to stop if you needed to check anything out on the car. Looks like you hit a couple highlights and enjoyed the Ozarks.

Amazed at the wide open country spaces. Yes to the bacon strips!
