OK I give up. Anyone know the make and year of the green car in the parade. I have bought and sold probably 25-30 old British sports cars and have a 50-60 book reference library and I cannot for the life of me figure out what this car is. Has a passing resemblance to a Triumph TR 2 but with an Allard-like grill. Looks to be an early '50s car. Any ideas? Thanks, Bob

Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
I think it is an Alvis TB. Pretty rare, made 1950 only.

Day 26: Driving from Muncho Lake, BC to Fort St John, BC
On Wednesday morning we took a few minutes the get some photos of the resort and Muncho Lake: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...C_0020%202.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0035_1.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...C_0098%202.jpg Muncho Lake is a large, high altitude, Alpine lake. The water is very clear and the water is still because the surrounding mountains block the wind: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0008.jpg to be continued...... |
Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
We left the Northern Rockies Lodge and drove East on the Alaska Highway. The first part of our day was on mountain roads and along streams and lakes:
https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0247.jpg Not far from the lodge we found this Stone Sheep on the side of the road licking the asphalt to get the salt from the winter road treatment. She was unconcerned by our presence: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0162.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0102_1.jpg We liked this small waterfall: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0392.jpg When the water rushes down a mountain canyon and deposits the rocks in a curved shape, it is called an Alluvial Fan: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0406.jpg Roads and mountains create great driving roads: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0517.jpg In this part of the Alaska Highway there are less services available to travellers. Many gas stations have gone out of business. Some struggle on but have decaying equipment. I got a kick out of the range of gas pumps at this station: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0235.jpg We inquired about the Tour Boat schedule and found out it is a Three Hour Tour: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0245_1.jpg Summit Lake and the Laird River are in the northern part of the Canadian Rocky Mountains: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0298.jpg to be continued...... |
Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
Here is another picturesque view of the Laird River:
https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0382_1.jpg As we drove south east on the Alaska Highway, we left the mountains behind and the road straightened out and the landscape was dominated by trees: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0143.jpg We spotted a bear grazing on the clover in the margin area between the forest and the road: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0009.jpg As we approached Fort St John, we had occasional rain showers and the clouds were fascinating: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0151.jpg We found another Bear on the roadside: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0884.jpg Jim |

Day 27: Drive from Fort St John to Hinton, AB
On Thursday, we left Fort St John, BC and drove the remainder of the Alaska Highway which ends (begins) at Dawson Creek, BC. The town of Dawson Creek was the start point of the US Army's construction of the Alaska Highway in 1942. I washed the ZR-1 as a celebration of the end on the Alaska Highway: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0090.jpg Before reaching Mile Zero, we drove off the current alignment of the Highway, and drove on the original section to see the Kiskatinaw Curved Bridge. The bridge was the longest curved wooden trestle bridge built in North America in 1942. The gorge it spans was the first major river the engineers conquered in building the Highway. The first sight we encountered was a Mule Deer on the edge of the road: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0011_1.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0027.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0040.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0042.jpg Leaving Dawson Creek, we drove south through Alberta. We stopped in Beaver Lodge, AB to get a picture: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0130.jpg As we continued south, we climbed back into the Rocky Mountains to Hinton, AB. https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0226.jpg Just to maintain the balance of the Universe. It rained for an hour on my just-washed ZR-1 driving along with the log trucks. The Z is a mess again. Jim |
Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
For dinner on Thursday, 4th of July in Hinton, AB, we went to the Canadian Steakout Steakhouse. We enjoyed talking to several local residents and they joined us in saying Happy Birthday America.

Day 28: Drive from Hinton, AB to Calgary, AB
We drove east from Hinton, then south, to Calgary, Alberta. We got to Alberta in time to rest up for the Evening Activities at the World Famous Calgary Stampede, The Stampede is the largest rodeo in the world. We watched the Chuck Wagon Races and the Evening Show. We got back to the hotel at midnight. More tomorrow... Jim |
Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
Jim, are the boards on the curved bridge actually curved, or is that just an optical dillusion?

To get to Calgary from Hinton, AB to Calgary, we drove east on AB-14 through the mountains to the plains to Edmonton, then AB-2 south. You know I like trains so here is a picture of a Canadian Northern coal train of empty cars headed for a large coal mine east of Hinton.
https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0016_2.jpg The skyline of Calgary: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0041_1.jpg We rested a little before heading to The Calgary Stampede to see the Evening Program of The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0071_1.jpg GMC (General Motors trunks brand) is a very large sponsor of the Calgary Stampede. They had quite a few trucks on display and had several tents that offered a chance to win a GMC Truck. Our favorite was the GMC truck carnival game. You know the game, squirt guns aimed at targets and the plastic horse moves along a track. Now, translate that game to four GMC pickups on car lifts with a large target and "contestants" with garden hoses. The first truck to the top of the lift "won" a chance to win a truck: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0073.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0072_1.jpg There was even a Dark Red C-7 Corvette being raffled. It sure was clean, I am not used to that: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0085.jpg On the Midway, we found every food and snack you get at fairs and rodeos. A new treat was an "Octo Leg". We passed on it: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0087.jpg to be continued........ |
Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
The first event on The Calgary Stampede Evening Program is the Chuck Wagon Races. This event has a long and rich history for the days of cattle drives when the cowboys slept on the range and a cook wagon followed the teams. The current form of the races use retired thoroughbred race horses and standardized wagons to simulate the chuck wagon. Each team is a driver with a four-horse team and two Out Riders that begin the race dismounted and have to finish within a few seconds of the wagon.
https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0192_1.jpg The first part of the 4-team race is "loading" the cook stove then a sharp turn around a barrel: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0247_1.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0193_1.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0194.jpg Then the teams go full out on an 3/8 mile oval track: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0198_1.jpg First to the finish line wins the heat: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0211.jpg to be continued....... |
Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
The races were very exciting. We enjoy the event. The sharp turn around the barrel required a skilled driver and well trained horses that were working together. Knocking over a barrel is a 5 second penalty.
https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0254.jpg Many of the heats had very close finishes. Speed on the 4th turn and on the straight was important to success: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0535.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0539.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0546.jpg Another close finish: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0656.jpg to be continued....... |
Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
After the Chuck Wagon Races, the arena was changed to a high-tech, multimedia performance set. The transition took about 30 minutes and was fasinating to watch:
https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0158.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0165.jpg The show featured singing, dancing, acrobatics, with local performers and acts from around the world. A world-class fireworks show capped off the evening: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0190_2.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0199.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0241.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0281.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0300.jpg The Calary Stampede Evening Show was a wonderful event. We were completely entertained and will have some great memories. We highly that everyone attend. Jim |
Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
On Saturday, July 6th, we remained in Calgary and attended the Calgary Stampede Rodeo Show. It was the first time I have seen a "big time" rodeo. The events included: bare back bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, calf roping, cattle wrestling, junior bull riding, ladies barrel racing and bull riding. The rodeo is an invitation only event and included some of the best riders in the world. The rodeo lasts for the entire ten days of the Stampede and the winners will be splitting awards over a million dollars.
Here are some pictures of the action: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0304.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0348.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0379.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0490.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0659.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0739.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0795.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0096.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0160.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0394.jpg I highly recommend going to Calgary and attending the Calgary Stampede! The Stampede is a non-profit organization and the proceeds are used to support city and provincial projects. The Stampede was very professionally run. There were hundreds of staff to ensure that went well. The entertainment was professional and enjoyable. The parking for the record attendance today was a challenge, but we avoided the problem by going on-line to ParkWiz to get advanced reserved parking adjacent to the Stampede Park. Jim |

WOW!!! GREAT SHOW!!! Did you have to purchase tickets in advance or at the gate ? |

I purchased all of the Stampede event tickets in advance using the on-line tools for seat selection. The site worked well, showing individual seat pricing and allowed selection for every day of the ten-day event. The problem was figuring out which seats would be good for the different events. The Chuck Wagon Racing and the Evening Show were one ticket. The afternoon Rodeo ticket covered all the rodeo events for a day. The program and rodeo event tickets included Stampede general admission for the appropriate day. I want to give a special Thank You to Nelson for his excellent advice about the seats to get. He recommended Grand Stand seats, high up, near the center and near the front of section. We enjoyed the shows and got to see all the action. Thanks Nelson!!! Jim |
Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
Day 30: On Sunday, we drove from Calgary to East Glacier, Montana to spend the night in The Glacier Lodge. After leaving Calgary, we drove south on RT-2. The terrain in this region of Alberta is mostly flat and in agricultural use.
https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0699.jpg In the town of Nanton, AB we found the Bomber Command Mmuseum fo Canada honoring the men and women of Canadia who served in the air campaign against Germany in World War II. We were earlier than the open time but we did get some pictures of the planes: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0756.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0760.jpg From southern Alberta, we got our first views of the mountains of Glacier National Park: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...C_0760%202.jpg We stopped of gas in Clarsholm, AB and Lyndi sighted people riding horses in a small fenced ring: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0924.jpg We investigated and discovered a Team Roping Championship event being held at the Agriplex: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0951.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0128.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0060.jpg We learned that Team Roping is a sport that many horseman take very seriously. https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0051.jpg |
Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
Team Roping is an demanding test of two riders and two horses. A small steer is released from a chute. The steer will run for the far end of the ring. Two riders have to start quickly and catch up to the steer. The Header has to lasso the steer. Then the Heeler has to lasso the steer's rear leg. Then the horses back up to restrain the steer and the clock stops when a judge drops his flag.

Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
The team roping was fun to watch. The event was well run and there was always a lot going on in the ring. The first section was 147 teams. Each team that had a successful run in the first section gets to compete in a subsequent section. The team with the most consistent time wins.
The audience is very close to the ring. I could have reached out to shake hands with a rider. https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0457.jpg Men and women compete in the event, although I didn't see any woman Heelers. https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0283.jpg The steers wear a protective harness to protect their horns. They know what is expected of them and the run to the exit very enthusiastically: ; https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0484.jpg Although I didn't see and collisions, I think cell phones while riding should be banned: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0963.jpg Jim |
Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
We spent our night in East Glacier at the Glacier Park Lodge. This lodge was built by the Great Northern Railroad in 1912, just after Glacier National Park was dedicated. The three-story main building of the lodge required 60 Douglas Fir trunks. Each timber is 40 feet long and 36 to 42 inches in diameter. This lodge is one of the nicest historic lodges in the National Park System and is our favorite. The lodge is privately owned and is not run by the NP lodging contractor. Reservations are made directly with the lodge.
https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0012_1.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0058.jpg We did not go into the Glacier NP on this trip, but the snow on the mountains provided a nice view: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0027_1.jpg Day 31: We drove east on US-2 then south on US-89/ US-287, to Livingston, MT. Western Montana has a lot of acres in agriculture and a lot of mountains. It is a beautiful area: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0216.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0371.jpg The unique landscape of the Missouri River Canyon caught our attention.

Day 32: Drive from Livingston, MT to Pinedale, Wyoming
On Tuesday we continued our journey south. Our destination for the day was central Wyoming. From Livingston we drove south to Gardner, MT, the gateway to Yellowstone Park. We weren't going to do any sightseeing in Yellowstone, but since it was the shortest route to central Wyoming we went this way. In Gardner we found the original stone arch that was the entrance to Yellowstone National Park: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0226_1.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0222_1.jpg As we approached the actual park entrance gate we spotted some Prong Horn Sheep: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0260.jpg This is a nice trestle bridge for the road to the east gate to the Park and to the Canyon Lodge area of the Park: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0295.jpg We stopped briefly at the Mammoth area of the Park to see the hot spring pools: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0356_1.jpg The central plain of Yellowstone NP is at 6,700 to 7,200 feet elevation. There are many places throughout the Park that steam rises from the ground and ponds: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0548.jpg We stopped briefly at the Old Faithful Inn, one of the historic lodges in the National Park System: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0678.jpg We left Yellowstone at the Southern Gate and drove on to Grand Teton National Park: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0761.jpg The Grand Teton Mountains: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_1124.jpg South of Grand Teton NP, in Jackson, WY, we turned on to US-189/US-191 South and headed for the small town of Pinedale, WY. The scenery for this leg of the trip was fantastic. We followed the Hobeck River and passed through mountains and then beef cattle country: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_1281.jpg Jim |

Day 33: Drive from Pinedale, WY to The Flaming Gorge in Red Lodge, Utah
We left Pinedale bright and early and Lyndi got this interesting picture of the landscape: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC_0001a.jpg We drove from Pinedale south to I-80 then west a few miles to the turn-off for US-191, the road that runs by The Flaming Gorge. https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0276.jpg The first view of the north portion of the Gorge was stunning. https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0277.jpg The Royal Gorge is the result of erosion by the Green River through up-lifted rock layers. Some of the layers exposed at the bottom of the gorge are 1.1 Billion years old. The Green River joins the Colorado River and flows through the Grand Canyon. We turned off US-191 and followed WY-33 down to the floor of the gorge. The rock formations seen from RT-33 are amazing: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0428.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0447.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0499.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0541.jpg The Green River has been dammed about 60 miles south of these pictures and the Royal Gorge lake extends all the way north to where we were. We found a hill to climb up to a knob that promised a nice view of the lake: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...C_0783%202.jpg The little dot at the top of the knob is me!! https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0811.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0875.jpg to be continued....... |

Flaming Gorge part 2: After driving to the dam in the southern portion of the Flaming Gorge Reaction Area, we decided to rent a boat and cruise around the Green River. We stopped at Cedar Springs Marina and rented a "speed boat" with a 150 HP Mercury outboard:

Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska
After our cruise on the Green River, we retired to our cabin at Red Lodge Cabins. The cabins are located on the gorge rim at the south end. We have stayed here before and we enjoy them:

Day 34: Drive from Flaming Gorge to Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
Thursday was a short driving day, 3 and a half hours to Steamboat Springs. The landscape in northwest Utah was similar to that around the Flaming Gorge. The same eroded layers of rock were still present near the town of Vernal: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0173.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0180.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...Z/DSC_0219.jpg We headed east into Colorado and it was a easy drive to the ski town on the edge of the western Rocky Mountains: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...C_0797%202.jpg With the part of our trip that requires driving on gravel roads behind us, we took the opportunity to wash the car: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...C_0996%202.jpg https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...C_0999%202.jpg Lyndi got a thrill to spend the night at one of the oldest motels in Steamboat Springs. The Rabbit Ears Motel was built in 1953 and has been remodeled and is a very comfortable motel: https://i407.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0031_1.jpg Jim |
