8400 miles. SD, Wyoming and Montana were absolutely beautiful. Very cold but the 200 never even flinched. Started up in below zero weather. I knew it could handle anything that could be thrown at her, she exceeded all of my expectations.

Nice - did you stop by Devil’s Tower Lodge when you were in the area? A good friend owns the place.
Digging the livery...
We wanted that exact same picture at Moki Dugway but got there at 9pm and drove down it into valley of the gods to find a campsite by starlight. Missing that pic was worth the surprise view we got that morning when we opened our camper door at sunrise.
Greats pictures, thanks for sharing.

No we just stopped by for a few minutes.
Nothing seems to phase the 200. I've driven in -40 to +100F ambient temps and the cabin is always comfortable. It is amazing how well the HVAC works under all conditions. The cabin is also extremely well sealed from the external environment,.
Hey, I know that spot at the bottom of Forrest Gump Hill! I arrived there approx 2AM and slept in the car until sunrise to capture the sandstone.

Agree completely. Same experience here. Have owned many other vehicles all of which have struggled- particularly in the heat. But the LC always keeps us cool.

I love my 80 series, but in this part of the world where 80 MPH is the norm and there is at least 100 miles between destinations, the 200 kicks serious a$$, I really appreciated my aux tank!
Great light on the Volvo! Also, that is the second Volvo I have seen in the past month with the Ferrariesque looking badges on the front quarters. What does that signify?

It's the "Prancing Moose". Proof that Volvo owners have a great sense of humor.

The Prancing Moose Story
The stickers are the result of a combination of Volvo's marketing department and Volvo RWD enthusiast Dave Barton. Paraphrasing Dave: in 2003, to show the accident-avoiding reflexes of the new XC90, Volvo built the "Moose Avoidance Test." It was their bit of closed track where the XC90 stunt...

I made 2 6000+ mile trips in my 20’ HE from East to West in 20’ and 21’ and have many of the same backgrounds with my Kids and/or LC positioned in front of them, checking out all the places I remembered pictures of as a kid.
Whether it was Mt Rushmore, Devil’s Tower, or Old Faithful. I was always amazed but said to myself, it looks much bigger in pictures!!!!
Amazing scenery, can’t wait to get back out there and see it again!!!!
