Well,today was better,headded out and had a good trip and mileage from yesterday was 10.1 and then the second tank from SLC to Green River was really bad.A lot of hills on Utah 6 and a LOT OF WIND.. Started losing power again after we left Spanish Fork and picked up the ticking noise again and will be taking it into the local dealer tomorrow.. If it's the same thing that it was before,I'm gonna get me a dealer in La Grande...
Fuel here is running between 4.60 and 4.89 for diesel and gas is all over the place,I've seen it as low as 4.09..
No,it won't stop me from buying wine,just slow me down and a little more twobuck chuck...

Chuck, sounds like you better get your tow chain out for BigDog. I hate having engine trouble anytime but I really hate it on the road. Keep us informed whats going on John and give a yell if you need something although you are getting a bit out of range now.

Bigdog is right the wind on rt 6 and the up and down does a job on the fuel milage.Bigdog may have a turbo or waste gate problem,Hope he geys it fixed soon kind ruins a vacation.We are in Moab Utah now.

Chuck,Where you folks???? We're at Canyonlands at the south end of town.....PM coming...
David,guess what I found today????We went up the Colorado River and stopped at the Red Cliffs Lodge and found that they have a winery there...They also have a movie museum of all the movies made in this area.. It is a who's who and a what's what of famous films.. And some not so famous...
A winery in the Utah desert? Go figure.
I think Rt 6 is the way went to get down to Arches. Yeah, that was a fun road. NOT! But that was when we had our first half-ton Suburban. I think our current truck would do a better job towing on that road, but I doubt the gas mileage would be any better.
Okay, so all you guys that are going camping (or are already there), don't forget to take a pic of you and your rig to send to me for the rally yearbook. It's supposed to be nice weather all over the place, so even if you're not going camping, go take that pic for me...please. And yes, I'm gonna try and get our pic too.
Met up with Bigdog he is doing fine,He got thet big trailer in a tight little spot no problem.The sun sure looks fine comming up over the red mountains this morning,nice change for a northwesterner.About to hit the road for ABQ.

Chuck, it looks like BigDog needs some looking after so you should probably keep an eye on him. Keep that tow cable close by and hide your credit cards if he breaks down again. Its going to be 90 here this weekend and its been nice ever since BigDog left so I think he should stay gone for a bit.
