Nearly 4,183 miles, 6,693 images, 351GB of data over 2 weeks. Most of those images in the first week.
With no Wi-Fi at the RV campground, and no cell service with MINT I did not process and post.
2nd week on Monday the truck had a failed injector at cylinder 1. 35mi out of Jackson WY I had no transportation to the local NAPA to pick up the part. Last time this happened was 2018 in Butte, MT and NAPA was just a few blocks away. This time was different. With the truck parked at our RV spot, I decided to visit the "liquor store" which was simply the bartender selling bottles from the bar in the campground gas station store.
He recommended "Big Horn" bourbon out of Ennis MT. Poured me a sample. Not wanting to offend his preference, I bought a bottle. Nothing wrong with it, just not my usual. No one else at the bar so we chatted a moment. I mentioned I was broke down and needed a part out of Jackson. That was going to be a $300 fare. Bartender Kevin said... you can borrow my truck. Yes, God is good. I know how to swap fuel injectors on my 5.9 Cummins. I can afford to buy the part. The gap in getting this fixed was getting the part in my hands and hopefully not spending an extra $300 to do so. The part was $500. Well God provided. I drove the bartender's truck to Jackson and picked up the part. Filled up his truck for $60. Far less than a taxi fare.
Anyway, here's a few of those nearly 7,000 images.
