The first thing David did in the
morning was to take out the alternator and put the new one in. Since
the bus engine compartment has better access than the Porsche, it took
him way
less time. Finally it was in. And the battery light did not come on!!!

We left the Hell´s Gate
National park after long showers and started heading towards Montana.
We picked a scenic highway and decided to drive less today.
|
|

|
|
The highway followed the Lochsa
River and we drove for many peaceful miles...

.. until at one point we took
some gas in a gas station and then the bus started making a weird
knocking sound.
<-- This is a view of the garbage containers we had when we heard
the knocking sound in the engine. |

We drove on knowing that we have
to find a campground soon. At one point we got hungry and stopped at a
little pull-out by the river. We had some sandwiches and David washed
the utensils right in the Lochsa river.

It was getting late so we stopped at the
first campground we liked (it was the third one we passed) and set up
our house. On this campground we had nice neighbors - ground
squirrels. We made a nice meal (I think it was pasta) and went to
sleep. |
