 Hi all, almost the end of this journey, so here's the latest.


Day 50

Long day for us although only 325 miles. Truck tried to not do a regen and gave lots of warning lights, so I drove at 50 MPH in 4th gear for about 30 minutes and it did do the cleaning. Still cannot understand why it won’t regen by itself. Otherwise the drive was pleasant and the scenery was great. Made it to Beaverhead BLM Campground on the Clark Canyon Reservoir near Dillon, MT. Dry camping with water available, did not check if operating, and the cost was ideal, $0. Fire rings and shelters at each site. Pretty mountain view across the reservoir and sunset. 


A little breeze and I expect it will get chilly tonight and we will be warm and cozy in our Fox. Chris’s homade chicken noodle soup for supper with a nice Rose from last fall’s Michigan trip. Play some games tonight and book reading before bed.

 

Day 51

Morning at Beaverhead Campground brought the start of a great sunrise, then the clouds moved in and they were low. Mountain tops were gone and hopes of a colorful sunrise dashed. 


As the morning wore on the clouds started breaking up and we were presented with a pretty unique sunrise. Good thing we had snow capped mountains in the background. 


Cooked breakfast and packed up to hit the road. 



Weather was good and the roads were not crowded. The truck however thinks that it needs to clean the Diesel exhaust filter every 100 miles. Will have to get this sorted out when home. Made it to Billings in the Cabella’s parking lot. Shopped Cabella’s and Sam’s Club next door. Likely to hit the road early, for us, tomorrow. Headed for Richardton, ND. Two more days of travel and we will be home. Off to bed for and early start tomorrow.

Make your day great and enjoy your journey.
