Title: Millie Made it!!!!
Post by: 3Gear on July 07, 2014, 09:24:35 am
Hey everyone, Millie, my daughter and I are back from our Yellowstone trip!!!   Millie made it throught about 5300+ miles over the last 16 days.  She got through 2 high mountain passes, Powder River Pass @ 9667 feet, and Mt Washborne in Yellowstone @ 10200 feet. IT was slow going for the hills, but we got there. Gas milage was not as good as I hoped, but then again I was running @ 67 to 70 on the highways...    Millie only had one hiccup on the journey, a bit of altitude sickness the second day in Yellowstone, which required a fresh set of plugs to cure... Other than that it was smooth sailing.  It was an awesome trip, I highly recommend it!!!!!!


Cheers

  Glad your trip was a success and a memorable one. You really don't know America until you crossed in by automobile, no matter what kind.

  I'm sure your daughter will never forget it.

  Happy your back safe  clap2-*

Congrats and welcome back Marc!  Good to hear Millie ran well and took care of you and your daughter.  Looks like you made some memories you will cherish forever.  I kept an eye on your photo blog and it was pretty neat to keep up with your journey.  Great job Marc!!

Well for most of it I could just put up a photo of a corn field and a highway...

Did not take any photos at my sisters, we were pretty spent...

But I'm posting what I have

                  That time missed was due to alien abduction and return... of course 3-Gear remembers nothing about it....     (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-alien011.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)  instead he just says....

                    Yea, right.


                   BUT nevertheless Marc,   GREAT TRIP!!  There is no place like that on earth... it is my favorite national park.  I would love to go again!



   Glad you did it, and made it back safe and sound!!


Matt

Anthony, I do not know if the AC works or not, I have not hooked up the belt yet.  And we did not need it, The heater was used often...  In yellowstone at night it was in the 30's...

Thanks Matt,  We did spend some time by Devil's Tower, so you may be right about the aliens  #@rofl3
