7.3mpg of gas. Won't spoil the surprise on how many miles this one will be.

Planning a trip to Dallas in the MoHo next month. 2000/7=285 gallons $3.50 gallon is about a grand. Could fly much cheaper but I like camping at the tracks. ;)

I'm pretty sure I don't get 10 MPG but 10 is a rounder number and optimism never hurts. ;)

Oh gotcha, guess as long as the bank account has the same offset your good. :D

I'm a bit liberal with the rounding out with the motorhome, bank account, not so much. ;)

My first roadtrip I somehow got 10mpg in my head. I was estimating the fuel cost would be somewhere about $1,200 as it was 3,000 miles. 7.3mpg doesn't sound that far off but 30% times the estimate and it was a decent penny off. :D

Same here.
Been going to Vegas from N. Cal in the motorhome for four or five years now. I've never officially checked the MPG but it's exactly 1200 miles round trip from our house to Vegas. Use about 130 gallons or so.

Drone crashes into famed hot spring at Yellowstone National Park

(Reuters) - A tourist seeking to take pictures of Yellowstone National Park crashed a camera-equipped drone into its largest hot spring, possibly damaging the prized geothermal feature, a park official said on Wednesday.

The incident follows the crash earlier this summer of a drone into a marina at Yellowstone Lake and a string of radio-controlled aircraft violations at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

The National Park Service in June announced a ban on so-called unmanned aerial vehicles, but officials say premier national parks in the U.S. West are reporting a sharp rise in the number of drones buzzing bison and boaters.

It was not clear if the drone that crashed Grand Prismatic Spring on Saturday and sank into its depths would damage the geothermal feature, park spokesman Al Nash said, and officials were still trying to decide whether to remove it.

"What we have to determine is whether the presence of this radio-controlled recreational aircraft poses a threat to that unique resource," Nash said of the Grand Prismatic, the third-largest hot spring in the world and a top attraction for the roughly 3 million visitors who flock to Yellowstone each year.

The park is puzzling over how to find the drone and extract it without damaging the hot spring, which is 370 feet in diameter, more than 121 feet deep and known for its brilliant colors caused by bacteria and minerals in the water.

The desire by some visitors to capture and post online footage of wildlife and scenic views must be weighed against public safety, protection of natural resources and complaints by an increasing number of visitors who say low-flying drones have marred their experience at Yellowstone, Nash said.

Drones are not the first challenge affecting natural resources at a park that spans parts of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Visitors in decades past threw coins in water features.

Fishing Cone Geyser on the edge of Yellowstone Lake was a popular catch-and-cook site for anglers.

“People would stand on it with a fishing pole, catch a fish and then drop that fish into the thermal feature where it would cook,” said Nash.

He added: “Once it was determined there was arsenic in the geyser water, that practice stopped.”

Thanks for that story. There was a lot of ranger activity yesterday running code 3 around the place. Explains it! Was thinking somebody fell down a cliff or something

[wsuwrhr]

Have fun. Still banker's hours?

[ChumpChange]

You mean responding to emails and answering my cell phone? Yup! ;)

It's good to be able to close deals from the road. Got two acceptances of last weeks proposals so the trip is getting paid for while on it!

That's the a Snake River.

[ChumpChange]

Lunch on the road. No stopping? Because motorhome.

Why is the camper so close to the motorhome?

Oh yeah.

My parents were there a couple months ago. Said the same thing about the cell coverage. They'd call a few days in advance to the next RV park knowing that they weren't gonna have service for a few days.

Better than food on the road in the motorhome is the pisser.
Screw the rest stops. :)

Looks like a nice trip for sure.

I'm jealous. Didn't get to run the boat near as much as I wanted to. Ah well, there's always next time. If there is a next time LOL.

[ChumpChange]

I guess I use them so much they broke. Again.
44458

[ChumpChange]

Good thing that this RV does not break the speed limit.
44459

[HB Vic]

Looks like the middle of nowhere

[wsuwrhr]

That is no good. Put down the damn cell phone, or it won't matter if it breaks the speed limit. haha

[ChumpChange]

Service time

[ChumpChange]

Service time

Booked my appointment when I picked it up from the service department two days before my road trip. They thought it was funny I was booking an oil change two weeks after I pick it up from one. Going to add the wind shield wipers to this one as well of course.
