I found what appears to be a hill 148 miles from cheyenne. Should roll in around 11 or so. Roads where surprisingly fine.
Status Update
Looks like a valve problem on cylinder #3 and the dealer was pulling the cylinder head off the pickup today at 2:00 PM when I was leaving with the asthmatic at 10,000' 5.3L Silverado rental. The Black Pearl in its 400+ hp glory should be back up and running Friday.
Got to rescue the second truck down this afternoon that made it from Michigan to about a mile from the finish line. That last grade up the side of the Snowy Range was all she wrote. New corollary rule - Don't eat red snow.
Good to see and meet everyone tonight at the Beartree. The chocolate birthday cake hit the spot. Our thanks to Pat's mom!
And the drive to Wyoming from Mavrik, Alaska was long.
Pictures and movies tomorrow night.
