You on the road yet?

Yep.-a When we left on the 3rd, you could cross west of Denver on I-70 still.-a Wet and light snow, but allowed.-a You could not take I-80 with anything under 20,000 lbs. because of blow over laws and high winds.
We got 620 miles to Kearney and it was cold, 28F, and pretty windy.
Got up and I-70 was closed to us because of traction laws and needing
chains to go west of Denver, but I-80 was open with the winds settling down.-a Went 680 miles and got to Evanston Wyoming.-a Went down to 20F
that night but at least we made it over the rough stuff.-a Ride down to Cannonville, UT was pleasant.
The water heater anti-freeze kit worked perfectly and was well worth
it. -aEverything else working just fine.-a The house batteries easily
run the furnace, water heater, lights, and the refrigerator
overnight.-a Having an amazing time with above average temps and so
much to see.
We will be taking I-70 back on the return this Wednesday unless it--
snows and gets slick.
Cutting this short for now.-a Much to do today!
Regards,
sticks

Damn, you covered some ground. Did you ride the hogback?

You must be living right. First trip's supposed to be full of bad
surprises.

If you're talking 12, yes.-a Neat road.-a WE took 12 to UT 24E which is another great road, to UT-95 S down to US 191.-a It was a good day at
almost 300 miles of unbelievable scenery.

I noticed today my water tank was full.-a I had left it at about 3/4
before hooking up to city water, so the damn valve is not working
properly for stopping it filling up the tank.-a Not a big problem and
will get it checked out when I get back.
Brakes are also a little spongy, with a quick pump getting the pedal
up. -aDon't like having to go thought the mountains like that, but as
long as it don't get any worse I should be OK.-a Will probably buy a
bottle of fluid just in case I have to do an emergency bleed on them.
