Trev, sounds like you had as much fun as I had getting to lake Tahoe, but that's another story.

Yes I am looking forward to Alcatraz on the 20th.

Safe travels back to Wellington for you whenever you go that is

You need Rain-X. The wipers are not very good at their best. G.M.

Trev, I made a post on this thread yesterday that somehow ended up being duplicate posts. Tried to delete one and both disappeared. Now I can't remember all that I said in my original post.
Sorry to hear about the major car problems. I wish we could have spent more time catching up and telling stories at Tahoe.
We have been in Yellowstone for the last two days. Getting ready to head for Cody, Wyoming now to see the Buffalo Bill Museum as we head further East. We have all taken some outstanding pictures here in Yellowstone. Frank Miller has posted many on the EFV8 website and on Facebook. I have been averaging about 15 mpg with the 3.78 gears. I was lucky to get 10 mpg with the 4.11's.

Darn duplicate posts again. Not sure why but I am going to leave them both there rather than trying to delete one and losing both.
