We're ready to start the journey now. Again, many thanks to Karl Kostman for his hospitality and assistance in getting us ready. We got the "spare" spares loaded in the back, and mounted a half-ton pickup truck crane at the back of the bed to move wheels in and out of the bed (modified it by adding an electric winch).
Changed out filters, fresh oil, lubed the joints, new windshield wipers, good inspection all over. A busy day in Karl's shop, and we got everything done as planned. Enjoyed the time we spent with Karl - a wealth of knowledge and a great friend. Got a photo of Karl driving our truck - enjoyable drive through the neighborhood.
On the road early in the morning; will keep this thread updated as we slowly head home, enjoying some great scenery along the way. We'll be heading west on I-94 from Fargo, ND to Butte, MT, then down I-15 the rest of the way through Idaho, Utah, and Nevada to California. If we're passing through any members neighborhood, we'd be glad to try to meet up.
