Sunday September 17. Another long van travel day-540 miles. After leaving camp, we headed east, and stopped to explore Wells, Nevada, where Jo's mom attended high school. Some of the old part of town was destroyed in an earthquake, so we were unable to find the location of her father's cafe, and other places she remembered. Back on the highway, the drive was largely uneventful, except for the check engine light coming on in the van. No messages, so I wasn't too concerned. After awhile, though, a message came on, stating only 16 starts left due to low DEF. That didn't make much sense, so we stopped in Salt Lake City and I filled the DEF tank (wasn't low), and scanned the van's computer, and cleared a couple of error messages, including a "dash display fault". There were no drivability issues, so I thought "clear the codes and see if they come back". So far, after a few hundred miles, no codes, and everything seems fine.
We stopped for dinner at Little America, WY, and then made it to Rawlins and stopped for the night at the Western Hills Campground.
On Monday, John and I will get back on our bikes and ride to Saratoga, WY. We hope the wind won't be too bad.
