Second verse, same as the first...


We started the day with a good tailwind, resulting in over 12 mpg (quite good with this rig). We turned west, resulting in a 40+ mph crosswind... which, of course, clocked around to a headwind... and sent our mileage plummeting to 7.5 mpg. To make up for it, diesel prices have climbed as we go north and west. Double whammy.

We stopped along the way to pick up another kayak that we bought from a boat dealer friend of ours. It fits fine in the cargo trailer, but that's starting to feel pretty full. ;-) We're looking forward to trying the kayaks out in the Tetons. Assuming the snow melts. Yes, there is still a LOT of snow there. The reports we are getting are putting the snowpack way above normal. Here's a recent photo of the marina store...


Umm, we don't own a snow shovel.
