Terry & Elba,
Thanks for the update.
I was getting the chills looking at your pictures.
Your baby will enjoy the weather in the lower 48.
I hope you have a smooth sail, on the water and the land.
Will you be able to get over the mountain passes or will you have to come down and around?
See you soon and have a safe trip.
Save the Wave!

That's the spirit! You can always buy a set of chains if you need them 
Good luck on the trip.

Terry just had his first "Oh SH#T" moment on this trip!
He's in Seattle, and had a fuel leak. Just filled the tank, and then fuel started running out on the ground...oh oh...that can't be good!
Turns out his fuel pump doesn't have a return line fitting, and the return line on the frame was left open. When he filled the tank, fuel started siphoning out of the return line!!
He's gonna plug the line on the frame, and hit the road!
Hope that's the worst thing that happens for any of us on the road to The Gathering.

Now how about that? I thought there was a breather cap on the frame end. Did it dall off or did the price of gas scare the end off? Either way its great to know he and Elba are safe on the ground and starting the migration.
Hope the rest of the trip is uneventful.....Tuxblacray 2008-04-10 12:02:38
