Day 53: Outside Jackson, Wy. to Wind Rivers Almost back in the mountains! Wind River Range - west side of Cirque of the Towers. The approach via Big Sandy Road. The meadow we 'dispersed' camped in for free. And my wife finally got some alone time after a tough run up...

Day 53: Outside Jackson, Wy. to Wind Rivers The landscape changed again as we crossed the long plain between those two massive ranges. We plowed through some fast gravel and did a short highway stretch into a small town for gas. We were getting good at finding lunch spaces. We pulled the town...

The fluids were my main concern but I'm in the habit of checking all the clamps in the coolant system and the air intake system. My rubber air-intake tube cracked like many do and I replaced it with 3" pvc thinking it would be a temporary fix. That was more than a year ago and I it's doing the...

Day 53: Outside Jackson, Wy. to Wind Rivers We descended slowly out of the mountains and into a transit stage from the Bridger Mountains to the Wind River range further to the east. as we left BLM land and started back into open plains, we ran into some wildlife. These antelope were...

Day 53: Outside Jackson, Wy. to Wind Rivers We were chasing the storm as it also moved east. As we slowly climbed the wet roads, the storm overtook us and moved ahead. But as we summited the mountain range and began to pick up speed in that high valley, we caught back up with the rain...

Day 53: Outside Jackson, Wy. to Wind Rivers Alright. I'm sorry for the break and I'm back at it now even though there isn't much left! We woke up to sunny skies but they turned overcast before we left the campsite. As I did most mornings, I popped the hood and went through my fluids and bolts...

You can pressurize the tank (normally with air, I think) but the easier solution is to buy a pump that only runs when it needs to. My system is a 14 gallon tank with the pump mounted in-line (and pretty close to the tank). When we stop for the evening I hook the hose up via a standard brass hose...

This will be fun! Let us know how planning/preparation goes. Following along - Jesse

Not what I'm used to working on. Is this the contacts issue that LC starters are known for? Truck won't start at all. Battery is good. Starter throws out but that's all. What am I missing? Thanks, jesse

Make sure you get the real Nokero light. The light I ordered from amazon appeared to be a knock-off and did not work out of the box. Go to Nokero.com for the real thing and get 10% off using code EXPEDITION. -Jesse

I ended up on their website recently. Can't remember how I found it - I think from here on ExPo - but it's a really great site with other quality videos.

Day 52: Rockefeller S.P. to Jackson Hole, Wy. There is no denying that this is a wonderful and beautiful place. Even though we were ready to roll out we did so with a tinge of disappointment for missing the climbing and biking and people. After swimming for a long time and showering, we...

Day 52: Rockefeller S.P. to Jackson Hole, Wy. I kept feeling that, ideally, I'd like to explore the park deep in the mountains, not from the road below. Again, I think I walk the line of being too elitist - that said, we did enjoy the views. But where I really wanted to be was climbing...

Day 52: Rckefeller S.P. to Jackson Hole, Wy. It was odd to sit in traffic and be on pavement but the views were great. But I must confess that we never even got out of the car to look at the Tetons. It was a little like going through culture shock. We were amazed at the beauty and...

Day 52: To Jackson Hole We left our campsite fairly early hoping to make Jackson Hole and find some gas and showers. We had made some contacts on the road that we hoped to be able to stay with or at least park in their yard and set up for a day or two. From the look of the maps it didn't seem...

Surfy - Isn't there an option to change your user-name so that all of your posts reflect that change? That way you wouldn't have to repost all of your old posts. -just a thought.

Day 51: From Montana into Wyoming We continued to meander our way down wide valleys, alongside beautiful creeks. And eventually ran into this campsite with enough daylight left to explore, collect firewood and catch our dinner. It was always a pleasant change of pace to have a...

Day 51: From Montana into Wyoming We meandered our way northwest on Flagg Ranch Road. It is a well used backroad and the only road that I could find that traversed east-to-west anywhere near jackson lake. There were some rougher sections but it was doable in a Subaru or two wheel drive SUV...

I'll take them as long as shipping is reasonable (under $20). Flat rate box from USPS would be cheapest? Let me know and thanks! -Jesse

Day 51: From Montana into Wyoming From Henry's Lake we continued East and quickly ended up on the pavement of highway 20 which we took south for a number of miles into Island Park. Island Park is a weird area. It's fairly flat there, hot and covered in short pine trees. There were millions of...
