Well… On our way out of the Ogden area, making the climb out of Utah toward Idaho, we finally hit a point where we needed to make some kind of change. We had been adding coolant at a more rapid pace, about every hour. We also stopped using our exhaust brake after leaving Soldier Creek….
Day: August 8, 2017
Soldier Creek Campground, Strawberry Reservoir
After another long day dealing with the coolant leak, we managed to continue on our trek home, and made it into Soldier Creek Campground.

Coolant leakage and Stagecoach State Park.

The first sign of any issue occurred after we stopped for lunch in Winter Park.
