    I wasn't overly worried about it but after not taking it on any trips over 20 minutes for quite some time, I was dreading something coming up on their drive home but it sounds like it was an uneventful 750 miles!

    Apparently that wasn't entirely accurate.

    Somewhere along the line they got a flat and the guy they brought it to to fix it said there was something wrong with it. I got no other information so I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

    No idea about any details.

    I had the same thought with them just wanting to sell some tires instead of repairing.

    They were in eastern Montana so he's probably the best mechanic around.

    @RustyGreen

    I finally found a copy at a price I was ok paying!

    20230821_173925.jpg

    It's a used Blu-ray that is in pristine condition from a Goodwill listing on ebay for $20! :thumbsup:

    It includes both the US and UK versions. I'd like to say that I'll be watching it tonight but I have some busy work to take care of first. :rolleyes:

    So the adventure traveling continues.

    The pic I posted last week was from part of a system of reserves. We went a bit north looking for another one of those cell phone picture ‘stations’.

    We didn’t get to it this time but plan on going back prolly next weekend weather permitting. It’s the

    Here’s some random pics from the Visitors Center:IMG_6267.jpg IMG_6273.jpg IMG_6278.jpg

    I’m a fan of federal tile work :oldglory: and that moose head was really something to see close up.

    BTW, this was a relatively clear day. We’ve been dealing with Canadian wildfire smoke all summer.

    We took a circuitous route home that paralleled the Canadian border. So close that I got a message from my cell phone company welcoming me to Canada :rofl:
