Month: August 2026

We stopped early today. Got a late start and the next rest stop is 87 miles away which would make it close to 6:00 p.m. plus and I think I’d be really tired by the time we got there.

This is how I am setting up the Starlink while we are traveling. I carry a shower mat to use when I am putting on my waders and wading boots. It happens to be big enough for the Starlink base to set on and not scratch the paint of the pickup’s hood.

It is warm today 92 in the coach however we are high enough in the mountains that it should cool off this evening.

When we got gas today it was $4.49 vers the $5.07 we paid for gas at home.

This is the first time we have stayed at the Quartz Flat rest stop heading East. This side of the highway also has a campground with 28 sites however the sites are all back ins. There is a one lane tunnel under the highway to the campsites on the other side which has several pull through sites. I think the tunnel clearance is 13 feet and we are a good 12 plus. Don’t think I want to chance it. We have 251 miles tomorrow to Palisades Campground.

We are spending the night here heading East on 90. It is a regular rest stop going East and a rest stop campground traveling West. There is a tunnel from the East to West side however I think it is 13 feet high and we are 12 feet plus a little.

I set up the Starlink so we’d have some internet during the evening.

We are Cabela’s in Post Falls ID on our way to Montana for a few weeks of sun and fishing.

Had one excitement today, just as we reach the high point of Highway 18 the coach started making a high pitched dash alarm and an Aladdin lamp lite up on the dash after a minute it quit so I kept moving. At the next rest stop I got out the chassie owners manual and found out it is a low oil pressure warning light. I checked the oil yesterday so I figured it was OK. I checked it again and it was down a 1/2 quart the same place as yesterday, added a half quart and we moved on.

Thinking and driving I have one of the dash options set so it shows Avg Mpg and I think the dash as an option to show Oil Pressure in this spot. At the next rest stop I got the manual out and figured out how to change from AvgMpg to Oil Pressure. Oil Pressure is right at 30 psi so things should be OK.

It is a warm evening 91 in the coach however we were able to get a parking lane so we can have the bedroom slide out to night. We have a lamp post on the bedroom slide side and the coach next to use on the other side of the lamp post has a slide out so we should be good.

Cabela’s is really nice to travelers, they have a 48 hour stay limit and there is also people here. Eight coaches and trailers here tonight.

By the way, leveled the coach on the first try

We are headed to Montana for while. Our current plans are to stay until the end of September getting home before the snow starts in the mountains .

The first night i at Cabela’s lot in Post Falls. I got the coach level !!!!!

I got a new IPad and just want to make sure I can log in to publish for our trip to Montana.
