ZR-1 Canada Trip July 2011
 

Hello everyone from sunny News Brunswick, Canada. My wife, Lyndi and I have covered 1000 miles so far on our 14 day trip form Maryland to Nova Scotia and back.

After meeting the Northeast group at Lime Rock Race Park, we drove to the New England coast and worked our way north and east up the coast.

The ZR-1 (Yellow 1994) is running great and we have our traveling routine finely tunned so that our luggage space is very efficient this year.

The farther north we get, the more "looks" the Corvette with Maryland plates gets.

We have been taking a lot of pictures and I will post some up here when I get WiFi connections.

Before we got to Lime Rock (in CT) we stopped in Port Jervis, NY and found an out door train display and a beautifully restored station and hotel from the Eire Railroad:

We really enjoyed visiting Newburyport, MA. It is a beautiful, historic New England seaport. We have added it to the list to go back to some day.

Our next photo stop was in York Beach, Maine. The beach here is very rocky but it didn't stop anyone from having a good time. Here is the Yellow Car at at the beach:

We visited Cape Neddick (at York Beach), and saw Nubble Light:

1000 miles in 14 days? Are you trying to score a "yellow turtle" designation?!

Just kidding... Looks like you are having a ball. Drive safe and enjoy!:cheers:

Re: ZR-1 Canada Trip July 2011
 

Not a chance of a turtle label on that one. Everybody knows the yeller ones are the fastest regardless of generation. Enjoy the rest of your trip Capt, and keep posting pics, they are great..

I could not agree more....yellow is a great color but I'm a little prejudice. Enjoy the ride. :dancing

When I took my Z to Bowling Green with some local club members I logged 1400 miles in 3 days

Sad thing is I have only put 5000 on the car in the 4 years I have owned it..

Good deal Jim. Glad your enjoying yourself :thumbsup:.

Hello from Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada. Thanks for the nice comments. We are having a good time. No problems at all.

Back to the travel log.

After leaving York Beach on the southern tip of Maine, we proceeded up the coast. We stayed in Brunswick, ME and then headed to Rockland, Maine at the mouth of Penobscot Bay. We found the World's Largest Lobster:

After finding a couple more light houses, we arrived in Lubec (pronounced like Quebec), Maine. As an evening fog rolled in, we visited Quoddy Head Point Light, the Eastern most point in America:

In Lubec, here is the bridge to the Island of Campobello:

From Lubec, the only way to Canada is by ferry from the town of Easrport, Maine. So, in the early morning fog, we waited for the ferry to Deer Island, Canada:

Here we are boarding the ferry:

Crossing the bay, in the fog, on that small ferry (just one other car aboard) has to be one of the high points of the trip. At first we were bummed that we would miss some photo opportunities, but then it became sort of a magical transition from the US to Canada.

More to follow soon.
