Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast
After Mount Rushmore
We hit up Crazy Horse Holly smokes They've been carving this mountain for 68 years so far When it is finished it will be Over 560'tall. And 600' wide His face is over 9 stories tall They are now working on the horse That will end up being over 20 stories high There is no forecast for completion. But I bet it's still a hundred or 2 years away |

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast
Just came across this thread. These pictures are great! Thanks for documenting your trip. It's great to "see" the country through your pictures. Hope the truck continues to keep you rolling down the road!

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast
Looks like down home cookin'. The truck keeps bringing you to the mechanics. That's a good truck.

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast
looks nice and peaceful... so still. I don't see any dents down the side or mirrors broken off. You made it through!

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast
As far as the truck is concerned
Thanks for asking sawyerrm A couple days ago it didn't just fire up immediately Like it usually does in the morning No biggy. It drove fine that day Yesterday we did a lot of driving in the hills then several hours Hwy When we turned into town totake the scenic route To Cody and Yellowstone It would hesitate on throttle at stop and go I started to smell fuel(that hadn't happened before) We pulled to the side of the road, popped the hood I wanted to make sure it wasn't dumping gas on the manifold It wasn't, but I had to hold the pedal to the floor to start again About that time. Jim pulled up behind us Walked right up and started talking Chevy s I told him out story. Asked him, where I might find a mechanic (just in case) For tomorrow He gave me directions to one(go back to the light take a right drive past the high school take a left then go a couple miles till you see a McDona) (oh heck with it, follow me I'll take there ) We jumped in the truck and took off. On the way over I thought I'm gonna open this up, blow out the carb(maybe something just got stuck So I raced, punched it, slowed down gunned it all the way to the place It was close to six when we pulled in Out walked one guy, then another, then one more I told them my story(but when I drove in the carb now felt responsive They said pop the hood And took a look, gave me some tips what to do if it acts up again And I gave them enough money for a 12 pack Asked if they had a smart phone, so I could link them to my story But the main guy said he didn't even know how to spell Computer So we just shook hands and said our goodbyes I knew Jim was a trustworthy guy when he wrote his # on this And gave it to me I was definitely not %100 sure we were going to make it to Cody Last night I'm going to fire it up this morning and drive around town a bit Before I take on some more hills |

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast
If you're in Cody you should consider the Beartooth Highway from Red Lodge, MT to Cooke City, MT then on into Yellowstone National Park. It's not that far out of your way and the Beartooth is an incredible drive.
Also, try the Wyoming Chop House in downtown Cody.

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast

These phones are amazing We did this whole trip From an IPhone Rarely did I use wifi Much of the time we were out of service But when you get by a town or freeway It comes back online A lot of time when Brad drives I just fool around with the pictures Experiment ! |
