My first time towing the travel trailer last summer I had about a half tank of 91 mixed with 87. Towed well and averaged about 12.5 mpg. Just kept putting 91 in for several fill ups and the next outing averaged 14.5 mpg on the exact same route. Not sure if I noticed a performance difference from...
Took my Ranger out to the gun range to adjust sights on my Marlin 1894 in .44 mag and Model 39A. Also, put the first rounds through my new Pietta 1873 Great Western II Californian in 45 Colt.
Cutthroat are native to the Rocky Mountains. The West slope cutts are our state fish and wild reproducing populations are protected here. They used to stock some rainbows but they crossed with the cutts creating a cuttbow hybrid. Great fish but then you don't have pure native cutts. The cuttbows...
The creek we camp on has smaller fish up to 6-7" but a few years ago I ended up catching a 16" and then an 18" West Slope Cutthroat where two small feeders come together. The main river has turned up 20" cutts several times. I have heard people say they caught up to 24" fish but I haven't seen any.
Our set up isn't fancy and even vintage 😂 but it's comfortable and I can take it to elk camp and such. That's good enough. With the truck I can then explore further or take the mountain bikes and at elk camp I can make a separate trip to take the ATV. From my house to camp isn't that far...
Although the over landing setups are compact and allow deeper exploration I can have our travel trailer set up pretty quick. From there it makes a great home base to go from. I guess it depends on the goal. Getting way off road first then staying the overlanding makes sense. Our travel trailer...
Just filled up with 91 for $4.59 at a 76 in north Idaho. Not the cheapest in my area but just down the road and Top Tier. Regular was $3.99 there.
On Edit: Sorry. It's a 76 station. I don't even know if Shell is Top Tier.
