Default First long trip in C7!

Our first long trip in the C7. Arkansas – Council Bluffs, IA – Rapid City, SD – Sturgis, SD – Devils Tower, WY – Little Bighorn, MT – Bear’s Tooth Highway to Yellowstone – north to Glacier National Park, MT and back to Arkansas through Nebraska. Great trip!!! The car was as fun to drive as it is to own.










Bear's Tooth Highway



Lot's of interest the whole trip!





The Grand Tetons



Jackson Hole.

He must have been in Custer State Park. I had one running along side me when I was on a Harley. Kind of unsettling if you know what I mean.

Not Custer, but near Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone. He walked within 3 feet of the car. The wife kept moving closer to the left the closer he got!

We made the same trip except we didn't make it to Glacier 3 weeks ago and back to Kentucky. And yes I think we saw the same Buffalo near Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone he seems to want to wander up and down the highway, also saw several in Custer, and Pronghorns and wild horses also. about 4000 miles.

Outstanding! These cars make great Grand Touring machines. My wife and I took a similar trip in July and it was fantastic. Looking forward to doing another road trip to Colorado, the South West and Grand Canyon next year.

What a great trip, and the best way to take it. We have been blessed to live in a beautiful country, and able to see it from America's only sports car.

BTW, we are on our annual road trip right now in our C7 drop top. In Bowling Green now, heading to the plant/museum tomorrow. Then onward west.
