Sorry for the delay in any blog postings about my trip. I've been fairly busy since I got back and it's just one of those things that's easy to put off.
My poor ol' car toughed out the trip despite a blown head gasket (consuming oil and coolant, but not mixing) and a badly broken inner wheel bearing on the driver's rear side. The bearing has been replaced along with a rear brake job by yours truly this past weekend. The car does decently despite the engine condition for city run-abouts. In fact it did decently at highway speeds, all things considered! I just had to stop every 100-200 miles to top off the oil and coolant.
I decided to skip Yellowstone since the car was in such poor condition. Maybe next year. I was just crossing my fingers that I got the car back home. But I did, so all is well!
I didn't do a great deal of sight seeing, even though I wish I could have. Soon I will be posting the two sight seeing bits I did in Ellensburg, WA and Dodge City, KS.
My adventures living out of a 1985 El Dorado Class C with my pittie mix, Lucy.
