Day 2023004…Part 2…Rough Country!

Wednesday, January 4, 2023

Las Vegas was a trial…finding a gas station that could accept my truck AND trailer…we ended up driving all the way to Kingman on that tank! Speaking of gas, this trip has been…weird?  Phenomenal?  Our first tank, from Great Falls to rocker we got 8.2MPG.  That is really good, particularly pulling the trailer through the […]

Day 2023004…Part 1…Uh oh…

Wednesday, January 4, 2023

We woke up fairly early, planning on maybe going all the way.  That dream ending quickly when we took the luggage out to the truck.  Nada.  No clicker for the door, no ummph from the ignition.  Someone left their electric baked potato warmer plugged in all night.  Back to breakfast and a call to AAA.  […]

Day 2023003!

Wednesday, January 4, 2023

Morning came way too early for some of us… Then it was out to brush snow and warm up the truck. (Photo by the Dailylife Wife!) A dreary start to the day, deliberately late so as to miss the Salt Lake City morning rush hour.  We did encounter this interesting steam/smoke column near Lehi… (Photos […]

Day 2023002! On the Road to Morocc…err, Arizona!

Monday, January 2, 2023

We got off in good time today: 7:05am!  A quick stop at Hardee’s for breakfast.  There was no way they want to let that trailer go through McDonalds! Heading down the hill into the Sun and the Helena Valley. At the South end of Elk Park, before heading down the hill into Butte, there were […]

Day 363

Monday, January 2, 2023

I had an Avis run to Belgrade.  I took down a Ford Edge.  A nice car with a HUGE screen…but when the night mode clicked off the screen turned mostly white.  I never did find a way to turn the SCREEN off… At the north end of the Canyon the Missouri River is ice choked…this […]

Day 357

Saturday, December 24, 2022

I made a quick trip up to see the Dailylife Parents in Kalispell.  A bit snowy!  You can see through the haze and blowing snow a lot better through the camera than just with your eyeballs.   My dashboard! A panorama of Swan Lake, I got us a gourmet meal at Chik Fa’Lay!  My folks […]

Day 349

A buffalo herd just east of Browning on the Blackfoot Nation, south on US89.  Lots of buffalo, perhaps the most I have seen in one place! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 348

Blowing snow east of East Glacier on the way back from Kalispell with Avis.  I drove an Infinity back…probably the second sedan I would be willing to own! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>
