Las Vegas

Sucks, and so does Grand Junction CO and so does Limon CO and so does KS especialy Salina KS and so does Kansas City KS/MO.
Nothing personal to anyone from these areas, just some bad experiences on the "Adventure" as U-hall tried to advertise.
All went well for the most part.
I learned how much octane levels make a difference on big gasoline engines, we stopped in Salina UT and got gas, and the truck wouldn't "go" like it did. I had to give it gas to accelerate down hill:confused: Thats when Erin told me he put 85 in it, at first I thought he meant E85 and then he said 85 Octane, bad part was we were going through 110 mi. of NO Services, not a sign of man except the road, wait it gets funner, it was very curvy and UP, then of course very down and curvy.
I could go on for like a DMW post on this so I will leave the questions to you folks if you really "gottta Know"..
Marshall RULES I couldn't have been more happy to get home and see our dogs.
Erin and I raised a fist and said "Whooo Hooo" as we went under the sign saying "Welcome to Missouri"
I got to sport the MO CDC tee shirt in Nevada and Utah too !

Good to be home. Glad you made it back safe and none the worse for wear. Get a fishing pole in your hand and put it all behind you.

Welcome back!

Yea it is, when I was 17 I watched my Mom and youngest brother drive one off a cliff . they walked away but we got to sit on the side of the highway and watch everything we own burn.
So I don't trust them for that, but when you drive that thing through the Rockie Mtns. with a squeaking break and LOADED I don't trust them (just sayin')
I could say more, you all can ask if you want more.

Your right, it was intriguing to see that flat land and see miles and miles of nothing, a nice change from driving in Vegas and Denver. The other "good" part was we were sick of the mountains and hills in that truck and appreciated the MPH.

Not that I really "hate" these parts of the country, it's just when I got the most frustrated as our stress levels were rising.
Stopped for the night in Grand Junction and just wanted to get a six pack of beer, first store didn't sell it, the guy said "so and so" place might but their probably closed, it was 11:00 pm, I said "ain't it Saturday night???
Well they did, only stupid 3.2% beer:mad:
Limon, we had to stop for gas and the 2 outfits that had gas and something to drink were outrageously high price almost $3 for a 6 lb bag of ice:eek::mad:
Salina, same as Grand Junction but that stupid county didn't sell on Sundays. Just plain stupid.
So nothing personal to anyone from there like I said..

Sounds like you could have used a 6 pack of stag out there rugs!!!!
I didn't know they sold 3.2 beer anywhere but oklahoma!!

Sounds like it was a fun trip.
