Mcinnis Canyons (Ut/Co State Line)

Up early this morning, and made our breakfast in the Walmart parking lot. Over to Lake Powell Ford at 7:30am, for our 8:30 tire appointment. The mechanic came out and got the truck at 8am, and they were finished around 9:30a. We were on the road by 10. 370 miles later, and we are camped out at McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area. Pretty drive today through Monument Valley. Been pulling gas leftover on the boat, to fill the truck. I think I still have about 10 gals in the boat tank, but we’re at a bit of an angle this evening, so not able to finish drawing it out. I store the boat over the winter without gas. I have a little electric pump that I can connect at the main fuel filter to draw the fuel out. I brought three, five-gallon gas cans along with me for that purpose, not knowing how much gas I would have left after Lake Powell. I ended up with about 45 gallons. (Saving on truck gas costs, as I paid $2.49/gal for the gas in the boat before we left home, and costs along the way today have ranged between a low at one station south of page for $3.04, and other stations between $3.23 and $3.59/gal.)Read more
