July 18, 2015 Travel Day on way to West Yellowstone

Saturday, July 18, 2015 Travel Day on way to West Yellowstone

We left at the time we had agreed on which was 7 am.  As soon as we got on the road our motor home started to spit and sputter as it did before but we continued. Going west in Washington the terrain started out with the mountains and it seemed that when we got to the top everything leveled out.  Mike decided that he was going to change out the fuel filter again thinking that some more trash was in it.  So after about three hours we stopped.  It was a pretty good place to stop because up on the cliff were 15 metal horses in different poses.  Well no trash in the filter. Mike is baffled so we called Freightliner in Spokane to see if we could get in there.  About 60 miles from Spokane the motor home started to purr like a kitten.  So we cancelled our appointment.  We made it into Idaho just 29 miles past the Freightliner place and as we exited the I-90 to get fuel the motor home stalled and wouldn’t start.  We were at the bottom of the exit ramp behind Jeff and Amy and when the light turned green they turned left and headed to the Flying J but we were stuck. So we had to call the tow truck to take us to the repair shop.  We are now sitting in their parking lot to be seen at 7am tomorrow morning.  I just hope it is nothing serious. 

Amy and Jeff stopped at a Walmart for the night so we went over, had dinner and said our goodbyes just in case we don’t make it to Yellowstone. 


Today was not a very good day and let’s hope that tomorrow will be better.
