Day 3226

 We woke up at 8, had breakfast and hooked.  We left the park at 9:05.

Luckily the traffic through Boise wasn't too bad.  It was moving quickly and wasn't too crowded.  I'm glad we weren't westbound.  There was a crash at about Nampa and the traffic jam backed up for miles.

I spent the first 100+ miles stressing because there hadn't been a regen in 600 miles.  Also, the soot level was below 60%.  Finally the truck went into a regen at 735 miles and 61% soot.  I was VERY relieved.  Ellen looked it up.  The mileage limit for a regen is 800 miles.  The regen was perfect, going down to 0%.  After that the soot buildup is on track for another 700+ mile regen.

The trip itself was totally uneventful.  We averaged just over 65 mph the whole way.  MPG was 10.1.  All in all a pretty good trip.

We got to Trementon at 1:35.  After setting up and feeding the pets we went into town.  I'd waited to eat at the local hamburger place.  Unfortunately it was closed.  We stopped at a grocery store for bread.  Then we filled up ($3.39) and went back to the park.

I watched some videos and took a nap.

Ellen fixed pork tips and rice with baked beans for dinner.  It was really good.  After dinner we took Abby for a walk.  She raced around the dog park for a little while, but it's a far cry from what she is used to.  When we got back it was a combination of surfing and videos until bedtime..
