We are getting more used to the new diesel as the miles add up. The motor is getting broken in nicely. We just climbed to Strawberry Forest Campground outside of Prairie Creek, Oregon at just under 6,000 feet. I dropped into low range on the rutted, wash boarded, single lane dirt road up to the campground. The motor did get pretty warm on the way up, but no real problems. Just after we pulled into our chosen site another car came in behind us smelling like torched coolant and transmission fluid. I guess we did ok!
I am loving the trip. Especially yesterday’s photo.
What a great way to spend time in such beautiful places.
Thanks Joyce! Eastern Oregon is amazing! High mountains, beautiful river valleys and high lakes. We are really loving it!
