Thanks everyone. It took just about everything I had not to stick a road flare in the fuel tank a few times. Very rewarding to have completed such a long day trip successfully. A huge reward at the end was the reaction of my niece and nephew when I pulled up to the house. They and a friend spent...

I did notice the fuel prices go up at the boarder. After ten and a half years I drove back onto Ft Bragg Nc yesterday afternoon. It is amazing how much has changed, and what hasn't changed. I have until monday to sign in so a bit of time to get things in order. Thank you to everyone for the...

The last few days my phone has really objected to the data network so I havent been able to get on. I spent last. Night near Ft Campbell, got to see my brother for a bit. From here I'll be heading down 24 to Nashville, east on 40 to Greensboro, down 421 on into my destination. I was having...

Katahdin - it was one of the injector lines, got it all fixed up and back on the road. Recovery - its like a warp speed Deuce. Makes me feel like I have covered a lot of ground turn key - I will take that as a joke, and the thought dod cross my mind as I was chugging up the hills in Wyoming...

Looks like lunch in rawlins wy around noon

Yesterday got a bit rough. Going up to 11.00x20 may have been a little much. My egt started outabout 100 degrees higher to maintain speed on flat ground. In western Wyoming there was a section of construction which went down to one lane. Of course this was on a decent climb. I pretty much had...

Well today is a down day, waiting until tomorrow to get parts. But the upside is I now have good internet and was able to upload a video from two days ago. Probably the best Brutus has run to date. Crossing most of Nevada. The sound can be a bit annoying but I left it in there so you can hear...

While I am looking into how to stop my fuel leak I figured I would share some pictures First night on the road I spent at the Jessup Nv offramp. Had I known then that Jessup was a ghost town I probably would have spent the night in town. My view out of bed when I woke up. Lunch on Day two...

Got a bit of a late start this morning. I realized that I havent added oil in a ver long time yet it is still completely full. Decided to bypass the FDC and turn down my fuel. Also my hubs were running a little hotter than I would like so I loosened them a little. Drove 100 miles to Winnemucca...

It has been a fun day, conversations at pit stops, acting as a speed bump going up hills and wonderful temps. Made about 300 miles in just under 9 hours including stops. I pulled off down the offramp to Jessup Nv. Brutus is running well and I'm feeling pretty good. Going to get up nice and early...

Chugged my way up to Donner Summit. Did a lot of driving at 20 mph. 980-1000*on the EGT, 6lbs of boost and 2000 rpm got me up the worst of the hills. Water temp got up to about 185*. So far all seems to be working as advertised. I stopped at the summit to look things over and let everything cool...

Thanks for the support. I will try and be better about updates on this leg. Tommy, thanks i will keep your number handy. Will be pulling out of Santa Rosa in a few minutes. Brutus feels tight and ready to run. With the new transmission and work weve done he is a lot quieter going down the...

Well my last trip ended sooner than expected but will be trying again. Got all kinds of stuff done to include a new transmission. I am feeling carefully optimistic that after all the work I should be able to make it to Ft Bragg NC by September 6. Tomorrow I will be leaving California Via 80 to...
