5AM - The oil mistake.
Do you remember that yesterday we changed MsTioga's engine oil? The Ford specs call for 10W-30 oil and we put in 15W-40. Reader Lester emailed that this was not a good idea.
When we researched this change in Google, we found people who had oil pump seals blow out after they did the same thing! This morning we will dump out the heavy weight and replace it with the Ford spec oil.
10AM - Livingston, Montana.
We arrived in Livingston and the first thing we did was buy a case of 10W-30 engine oil, the oil specified by Ford. Then we found a quiet street, and changed the oil.
MsTioga is leaking oil, and we cannot pin down exactly where the oil is coming from. This oil leaking is a recent thing. We never saw oil leaks before. But now we see drops of oil when MsTioga is parked for only and hour or so. We do not like to be making oil messes!
12 Noon - Reader Gary.
While we were in Yellowstone Park, email came in from Gary, a reader who lives in Billings, Montana. Gary wanted to meet MsTioga and The Team. We made a date to meet in Livingston today.
We spent a real nice time talking about stuff with Gary, and then went to a Dairy Queen for lunch. Isn't that the greatest thing?

6PM - Nite Camped close to Cottonwood Reservoir.
We believe that we are Camped on county owned property for the reservoir. This land is not fenced or posted.
It is a gorgeous site. Our Camp is a high place with a wonderful view.

TiogaRV Team Mission
To share the vagabonding life with our fellow RVers like yourself. We hope that you will try to boondock and dry camp.
We have found great joy in camping away from the RV Campground. We would like you to try our camping life style yourself.
Sharing with you our Daily Adventure is our way of encouraging you to try to camp as we do.
