    Over the Rockies

    Arrived safely in Nebraska.  The car will need a tune-up when we get back.  I have to check all the fluid levels every morning and top up as required.  Nothing to worry about I don't think although we did have a bit of a concern as we crested the Rockies. 
     
    As we climbed we started losing power and eventually were hard pressed to keep up even with the slow, slow truckers.  It took a while but we finally realized that hill climbing with an older diesel car at sea level is not a problem.  At just over ten thousand feet it doesn't do well at all.  At least we think that's the reason.  Something else to check out when we get home.
     
    Off again tomorrow for another 800 Km drive.  Long days but we'll be home soon.
