West to East Coast Trip in a 996
Hello- We are back from our trip-the new to us car ran fine and was very comfortable for long hours at a time. The car was a real hoot to drive througt the many switchbacks on Utah 12. The coolant light started to flash on two occasions- I started to add coolant each morning after that until the air was purged.
Many thanks to Wrinkledpants for his trip route suggestions. Here are some photos from Nevada (alien highway), Utah, and Colorado:

more photos
Here are some more photos:
#1&2- Arms dealer? No- a store and museum in hawthorne Nv where there is a big US Govt. surplus disposal depot. #3-A photo of a cliff in Zion Natl Park- There is a California Condor perching on a ledge near the top. You cannot see it in the photo, but trust me-it is there. Thrill of a lifetime for me! #4&5- Road photos between Zion NP and Bryce NP.
