Mt Vernon,WA to MI via ID,MT,MN,WI..

Not much exciting except for a semi full of frozen crabs flipped on over 85 mi E of Missoula. Had to sit along side the road for an hour. Waited for traffic to move till we ventured forth. Stop and go with the RTSE towing the trailer while stuck on an incline would kill the poor clutch.

We spent 2 nights in ID visiting a HS buddy not seen in 35 years. Was an interesting visit..:yikes:

Now we are in Missoula MT for 2 nights. Were supposed to be in Bozeman yesterday, but that semi with the crabs messed up our plans. Having a relaxing time this trip..absoutly no deadlines to meet so its a real "easy does it" trip so far.

We have been cruising the speed limit with no problems towing the trailer. I know we are a bit overweight, maybe 30 lbs.

OOPS! logged in as my wife! Its her puter!

Surprisingly, we have been averaging 25-26 mpg! I was expecting much less, maybe 20ish considering the trailer and passenger(s) (kiddo not being that much of a hinderance, her hut with her in it might gross 10lb.):2thumbs:

We get double whammied when we stop..either people asking about the Spyder, or Kiddo or both. Luckily, we have no time agenda to uphold!

Will you be coming to the lower peninsula of Michigan? We'd love to have you stop by for a visit.

Thanks for the update! sounds like a blast... Good thing the crab was not 3+ hours old in the hot sun!! Peeeeee yooouuuuuuu :shemademe_smilie::roflblack:

Hope you have a safe journey. Did they give any of the crabs away for the inconvenience?

Have a great ride! the no deadlines to make is always a plus on the long runs.
