May 15, 2015. Annie and I cranked out 500 miles today through rain and fog. Banff, AB, and Lake Louise is another day's drive from our campground tonight in Livingston, MT. We may spend a couple of nights around Lake Louise. It is among the most beautiful places on earth.
There is a new and very nice visitor's center just over the Wyoming border on Interstate 90. The exhibits are interactive. Annie had a little trouble mounting the steed on display there. Malachi had less trouble boarding the horse, but then, he has a higher center of gravity. The bronze cougar and fawns provide a nice accent to the center.
After nine hours in T-Harvey, we arrived at Osen's RV park. The critters posed for a photo and we took a walk to compensate for sitting in Harvey so long.
The engine warning light illuminated again today. I recalled reading in the manual that sometimes air in the fuel line may cause that result. The recommended remedy is to start the vehicle 3-4 times in quick succession to "bleed" the fuel line. So, I tried it. To my astonishment, it worked. On the fifth restart, the light was off. I haven't been a fan of reading manuals. That seems like cheating to me. It is a little like an open book exam in college. It takes all the sport out of solving a problem. However, I am gaining some respect for that approach. Every now and then, I have found a gem or two. Today was one of those times.
Don't worry. I won't become a manual reader. I am too much of a sportsman to do that. However, occasionally, it becomes necessary when a solution doesn't reveal itself through guesswork or intuition. Still, I feel a little guilty.
