I averaged 8.74 mpg towing this summer to Alberta, and 9.76 overall. That was just the 5er. Throw the boat behind and it is 7.5-8 mpg.

I plan on being there early afternoon, or even before noon. Looks like I may be a loner all weekend as Michelle is working, but I am sure she will stop by and say hi.

Cool I bet you will have your pick of the spots then. Michelle better show up. She can just sleep there and then go to work right?

Good night guys, I am going to run too.

Troy, Michelle can stay, but probably will not. She will take care of the dog. It had surgery last week, and know has a large open sore from it that tends to drain, and our camper is still too nice to run the risk of blood spots.
