Re: 1971 GMC Cross Country Hauler

The following morning I left the hotel in Minden and as I left the lot, the truck died and wouldn't restart. In its defense, it was in the 40s and I assumed just slightly cold blooded. Morale still at 9/10.

The drive north and west went well until mile marker 4 outside of Reno when it died again....I purchased three fuel filters prior to departure. Fuel filter one was installed and the trek continues.

Somewhere near Valmy Nevada I was pulled over again and again the cop gave me the "you must be out of your mind" look and said 'carry on'. Google maps let me down and took me through RURAL idaho on the way north and I found myself in pure desolation with night coming on.

Good news, lights work, bad news, heat doesn't.
