duct tape, a penny, swiss army knife, some chewed bubble gum, and a paper clip will cure all your vehicle needs.

be safe, take pictures, keep smiling.

I'm safe in mich as of early saturday morning,
friday brought me a flat tire on the tow dolly, and an issue with shifting into reverse and park on the van so we'll be doing a tranny service and replacing the radiator in this van here before I continue on to WA which also means I need to fly out for this hiring conference next week, good news is it means I can take a slow roll from here to WA

don't I wish, unfortunately 4 wheeling with the little car on the dolly behind is not realy an option

did get a few nice pics today as I started getting into the rockies

I left michigan sunday morning and am holed up in bozeman MT tonight no further vehicle problems, but its still slow going with the big trailer and the car behind the jeep, and I have a touch of something nasty making me cough but thats life

well I'm pretty much here,
I can report suprisingly good milage on the jeep 15-18 and not too bad on the big van and trailer (12-15)

a few small leaks but no major mechanical issue since michigan

now I just have to figure out where I'm living this summer

what I want to do is find a nice out of the way campground or private lot to park the trailer in to live for the summer, anyone got family in the western WA area with acarage they ain't usin?

update:

so I got an appartment here east of seattle then two day later got hired by owens corning in portland
so its a good thing I have the trailer to live in for a while. meanwhile Monica and her kids will be cosy in the apt and I will have a place to bring my kids for the weekends here close to thier mums place, but now I have to drag the trailer down and find a parking spot before I start work wich may be as soon as monday.

everything is looking good for the long run but its gonna be an interesting summer for sure
