More driving, the scenery changes constantly!
Very windy day. Huge sandstorm near Hanksville..

Driving Utah highway 12.
Beautiful and scary - I'm afraid of heights!! Thanks to those who suggested it. I'll get you back some day....
Epic drive though. Pictures just can't do it justice.

We have put just over 7600 miles on the truck since we left home!
Gotta quit buying souvenirs, we're running out of room....

Great pictures!

What kind of MPG are you getting with all the driving?

I recognized Hanksville and CRNP instantly! We were back there 3 weeks ago on our way to Olympic.

4/10 trail. We did about 5 miles of it before heading back. No spotter needed with the front camera, which was nice.

From our campsite right off the main highway, heading to Notom.

You are following a similar route the wife and I did about 10 years ago now. If you hit the Grand canyon and the go through death valley to vegas, it's almost exactly the same route

We went north from the Canyon, so we could drive hwy12 and see southern Utah's national parks.
We will see Hoover dam and Vegas after. Then north toward home.

I just checked the log.
We've filled up 30 times.

Had 15 mpg tankfulls.
Had 21 mpg tankfulls.
Most were 17. to 18. somethings...

Would be spectacular if this was 1975....

Not too bad at all! Actually not much different than my 4cyl Wrangler when I drove it home from San Diego to Washington.

Thanks for the info!

That's actually pretty good. Have you broken $100 for a fill up, yet? I hit $108 for 17 gallons in CA, but topped off the tank in Lee Vining for over $7/gallon. CA is insane.
