On the Bear Tooth Hwy they have a plow "standing by" year round at one of

One of my all time favorite roads.
Mine too.
And there's a treasure at both ends.

Did you do it in the RV?

Hell no.


I remember the trip over Powder River Pass in my 26’ motor home. I did not
think the climb would ever end.

Neither did the line of cars behind you ;-)


We unhooked the toad and let any backed up traffic pass. I grew up where
there are mountains and I think we learned better driving manners 60 years
ago.



Also, we had to take a few stops to allow for cool downs. Was a 440 dodge
motor and seems as if Chrysler never figured out they needed a big radiator
on their vehicles.


Ford had the same problem. I needed to put in a 3 core in my 78
Econoline and in Judy's 86 F-150. It was OK until I put a trailer
behind them although the Econoline always ran hot.


My 1968 Dodge Charger 383. Overheated anytime you needed the AC. Course
they also put 10” brake drums on it. Same size as a little chevy ll.
