Nice pictures Cooljay. If you made it up and over Wolf Creek Pass it must be running pretty good. From Denver to our home via I-70 is right at 1050 miles. But you are going the long way and it will be a bit more. Well, hurry on, and we'll leave the lights on for you.

Yeh he is doing really great, besides the darn washer jets always messing up.....getting so many bugs on the windshield, I am not able to see.

I noticed a few oil drops when we stopped, I know the ip to block gaskets needs replacing but this was up in the front, maybe the front seal is leaking....so much crud up there I just can't tell from where.

vstech, I would be up there in a heart beat if I had the funds! I have a matching set, just one of the used tires I bought for those two, was worn to un even for a comfortable trip....and they were smaller then the front....so couldn't switch them to the rear.

We camped in Mccok, NE....well tried too....it was sooooo humid...Got in at 12:20am



This is awesome, behind all those trees, was a dry creek bed, I decided to go check it out, as we heard a train back there....I seen a car sticking out of the edge of the creek. Went up and found a huge mangled pile of cars, there was a nash, plymouths, a spectra....all kinds....its like when they built the track that was elevated...they just pushed them all in the creek....found a old 55 license plat, tiny tiny blue vicks bottle, medicine bottles, 10 cent fodgers coffee can....I was looking around for a mercedes

This is how we camp in the car.
