Quick Update on the Diesel

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!

Up, up, up we go!
We camped right below Strawberry Lake.
Of course we had to go skinny dipping, a surprising 2 dunker, and we didn’t get caught😜
In the evening these hillsides turn red, thus the name Strawberry.
