Hi: We got off in good time this morning about 0900, and it was 40 degrees and raining. I think I saw some snow slush in there somewhere too.. Yuck. Stopped for gas and it is different here. Regular is 85 octane, and costs $3.85 a gallon. Plus is 88 octane and has 10% ethanol and it was $3.79. Cheaper??? Seemed to run fine in the Motorhome as we got up to 11.2 MPG on some of the flat/downhill runs here to Sheridan, WY. It rained all the way here and rained most of the night. We had no trouble with the jack and slide ins when we left Custer, But the Jacks would NOT go down here at this campground. The slides went out with no problem, so that narrows the problem down to one pirticulat selinoid, and I did find one in Custer that may work. So I know which one to change. (When it quits raining). Also got a new problem on the way here. The fan in the dash would not work, so had no heat or defrosters, and it was cold all the way here. Highest we saw was 45 degrees. Had the big heater going so that helped, but Amy had to keep wiping the windsheld to keep the condensation off it. I checked with the owner here about getting someone to look at my problem, and no one could see me before next Wednesday. I went to set up in my site and he said he'd keep looking for someone to help me. Well I checked one of the resetable fuses and found it was hot, so pulled it out and it cooled down and put it back and the fan started up. Went to tell the owner to stop looking for help. Plan to go to town today and get a couple new 30 amp resetable fuses, as these kind do get old and open at the wrong time after a while. Sure hope that fixes this problem as HEAT is needed in this part of the country. But with the fan not working I would not have AC either. Fan belt is still squealing. Don't know what that problem is yet either. Going to Billings, MT tomorrow, so might be able to find someone to check it out there. I have been under there with belt slip spray and it helps for a little while, but it startes to squeal again soon. Boy, If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have none at all.
The kitchen slide out went out just fine last night, but with all the rain we found a leak, so we had to close it up for the night. The bedroom slide showed no leaks. Thanks for little breaks..
Plan to stay here today and do some shopping. Seems this is the biggest little town around for some miles. Towns are few and far between here. It's supposed to rain off and on all day also. I did get my Alaska coat out yesterday and it felt good. We went by a thermometer in town yesterday coming here that said 35 degrees. I can't breath air below 40, so I had to hold my breath for a long time. Till we got the motor home warmed up.
As you all can see we do have WiFi here, and we also have cable TV, so didn't have to set up the satellite dish. Cost for the campground was about $30 a night. Seems that is the norm at most of them, however, we did notice at one KOA a while back their costs last year were $35 to $71. We are in the high side of course as we use all the hookups. Bob uses 50 amp, and Iuse only the 30 amp which is a couple dollars cheaper.
Well
