Well 5 is almost 4, but I'm sorry the Tournac turbine will need to be confiscated.;) Congratulations to the Brew Crew!!

Not ever having made the trip to AK, I was unaware of the chloride treatment routinely used on the the roads there. Thanks for educating me on those conditions. That would make for a tough situation to keep the TD properly cleaned of that corrosive chemical. They use to use it on the mile of...

I don't know, but I wonder if CI may use a thin gasket or coating of some sort on the fender or aluminum sidewall to prevent physical contact, since I've never seen one of their TD's with a galvanic corrosion issue at that junction. I have used 3M Marine paste wax on our TD after cleaning it...

Will the Great Tournac's prediction come true??? We'll find out tomorrow night!

I don't want to put a damper on this patina party;), because embracing patina is fine, since it is reversible if desired by you or a subsequent owner....unfortunately corrosion, and its accompanying pitting damage is permanent, so should be prevented if possible, lest you devalue your TD...

Unfortunately even the Walbernizing won't restore lost metal, which is what happens with the corrosion that caused the pitting. Preventing it in the first place with a good coat of protective wax, and rinsing off any exposure to road salt or sea salt as soon as possible would have been the best...

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray. I've been out for a flight, on an autumn day. Really gets me yearning For some warm sunny days. Arizona dreaming On such an autumn day.

Just had our 11LB tank re-certified for $8 plus mandatory fill (wasn't empty, but didn't want to risk running out). certification process seemed to consist of spaying valve connections with soapy water and looking for leaks.

The fat tires & front shocks on the Lectric bikes really help a lot with smoothing out the bumps coming from terrain the front wheels experience.

Glad to hear they have taken care of that issue, even though it's something that was fairly easily adapted to....well for most people anyway.

I think your pot of gold is right under your nose!

That's must be quite the telephoto lens!

....might have to change your handle to Jungle Gene!

Thanks for sharing your fascinating adventure with us and the great pics to go with it!

Oh, I knew we were unfortunately going to miss out on all the wonderful cobblers, and homemade ice cream with our early departure. It was the carrot cake I was wondering about....it's one of my favorites, and I hadn't seen that as part of the dessert fare in the past, but I suspect it maybe...

....wait, what did I miss???

Yes, the UP should be beautiful this time of year. It might very well be worth an extra day and night on the journey home.

You're more than welcome! I would have gladly let you try it for an hour or two just to get a chance to put it completely through its paces. They do seem to have sales about every other week, especially in the fall / holiday season. If I remember right, we got ours just before the 2nd to the...

We weren't able to stay long enough to enjoy the pot-luck, but did enjoy our three nights there seeing old friends, and meeting a few new ones! It was just our second trip towing the TD with the Silverado EV, and it went even better than the first. I wasn't sure if recharging at the...

We did adapt a Camp Chef Ranger 2 to fit on the slide that the original stove was on, and it does slide in to the same space, and uses the same gas line. We've enjoyed the better flame adjustability, and the piezo electric lighters. We also (if we remember:)) put ramps under the TD wheels when...
