Traveling "Home" - 8/30/17

We had a great Service Advisor, Shawn, in Billings and he recognized the problem we have been having with the fuel injectors which causes the check engine light to come on. The "fix" he suggested (and Mercedes, too) is to add a bottle of cetane to the fuel tank. The injectors then perceive that the cetane in the fuel is rich enough and they're happy. We shall see if we are happy and this solves the problem. The provident coincidence is that Shawn spotted an oil leak from the new hose that we had installed in El Paso back in the winter. We had to stay an extra day in Billings for the hose to be sent from Los Angles, but we feel fortunate that this problem was found in the shop.

Leaving Billings, we saw some of the industry makes Billings a thriving city. 

Leaving Billings we headed diagonally across the south eastern corner of Montana, across about 15-miles of Wyoming and in to Rapid City, South Dakota, our "home".


This part of Montana is virtually un-inhabited but...

the scenery along the highway had lots of hills, knobs and bumps.




Also, some artistic wheat fields and...


Black-Eyed Susans along the roadside. They look like they could have been planted as an edging - charming.

Home at last!
