Great pics Howard. I assume that is out near Banff. Too cold for me though. Ins. runs out in 4 days and snow is in the forecast. My car is basically parked for the winter already...... although ya never know I might just sneak out oooooonce more. My wife ask why all the pictures of the car in the house don't have snow in them.
Obviously she wasn't thinking....... But yours look pretty good. May have to try and get some for myself. Thanx for the pics and encouragement.

I was looking for a good place to take some photos....mountains always make a nice backdrop and the twisty roads just add to the fun of getting there

Beautiful scenery! Snow does bring an end to the cruising for me also.

Those pics are excellent!
Today was the end of 2009 for me. This morning was sunny but cool at 40*F with fairly strong winds. With the top down it was cold driving even with the heater on. I got an hour in before the day started to morph into cloud and the possibility of rain/wet snow. So the old girl is now parked in my garage. The top will go up a wee bit later today and the car goes into winter commercial storage in about two weeks.
What with the constant rain last summer I cannot say that 2009 was a good year. But I snuck in ~1,200 miles somehow and they were enjoyable. Bring on April!

Looking forward to some top down weather.Our trip to the Canadian Rockies was one of our best experiences...very nice people! The Fairmont Hotel in Banff was a great place to stay and visit.

Hope to take the 73 for a last drive this coming weekend if the snow holds off, will go down the Mississippi River valley from Minneapolis to La Crosse, its a real nice drive in the fall but does not compare with the area that you drive through, just a side note, our 73 coupes came off the assembly line the same day March 27th.

It's not c-cc-c-cold out!
PS, I LOVE your Corvette pictures with snow in the background. Makes for a great shot, especially with the beautiful Great White North in the background!
