Four months and 12 states. Saturn towd.
Left Little Rock, AR on June 1st for Hamilton, Ohio work rally.
New front wheel bearings with zerks installed ( could not have done it without James' help ) also new brake pads.
Evac. dash AC and charged with duracool. The belt was squeeling so decreased the pressure. Fixed, cools great!
On to Niagra Falls, super!
Then to the UP, Macinac Bridge toll $22.50, tour bus next to us paid 14.50!!!!!
To northern MN awhile, hit while parked in walmart lot and had to have body work done, then dropped down to Iowa to visit relatives.
Back to N. MN before going to North Dakota ( relatives ) then back to MN.
Chose to replace exhaust manifold gaskets ( had them shaved also ) to eliminate an annoying leak. New carb on Onan to smooth out running, new fridge door gasket installed, and back up camera.
Worked 1 month, Sept. for the COE at Crosslake, MN.
Trip back...very strong winds across Iowa, had to down shift twice in hills at Branson, MO.
Gas ranged from $4.09 UP in June to $3.15 in MO. in OCT.
We will rest a few days before heading for the King Bisquit Blues Festival in West Helena the 6th, 7th, & 8th.
We love our GMC!
