Just a little road trip

[coldtaco]

The shakedown cruise went well from Charles house to Dalton, GA.
In the morning will head for home, Anchorage, AK via St. Louis, Kansas City, MO, Omaha, Cheyenne,WY, Great Falls, Calgary, Edmonton, Dawson Creek, Alaska Hwy, Anchorage.
Anyone along the route if you could maybe leave a pm with contact info in case I need assistance that would be greatly appreciated, don't anticipate needing any help. If I end up overnight in your town maybe we could meet for dinner or breakfast in the morning.

First tank 15mpg. Slowing it a little bit today.

Should be closer to 19- 20mpg.

Slight change in routing heading to Sioux Falls then to Great Falls.

Awesome! Every diesel LC purchase should start out with an epic road trip. Mine started in Chilliwack, BC all the way back to central PA, with a few stops in Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, Sisters, Idaho, San Rafael Swell, Moab, etc.

Fun times, keep us posted on the progress!

Shorter, more scenic, better roads?

Hello Coldtaco,

I am situated, for the time being at any rate, about 180km (about 110 miles) east-south-east of Calgary, near a small town called Brooks. If you're going to stop in the area, let me know; if i'm still here, i'd be glad to meet you and your 75. I'll send you a pm very shortly.

Congratulations on the truck. Have a safe trip
