Freeways, highways, and other roads as we move the coach from one site to another. Plus cat pics.
Travel from Livingston, Montana to Buffalo, Wyoming
We drove our coach 282 miles, about 5 hour of driving, from Livingston, Montana to Buffalo, Wyoming.
The map route, heading east then south:
We seem to have a slow leak in the rear outer driver-side tire on our coach (it loses about 3 PSI on a drive). So I topped it up before departure (spoiler: we got it fixed on a later trip):

A fuel stop; we had hoped to get the tire fixed, but of course being a weekend their service department was closed (and they may not have been willing to work on a motorhome anyway):
We did weigh our coach and truck on a CAT Scale; a good thing to do occasionally:
A Super-C fueling up next to us:
After fueling, we parked with the big rigs (there were several empty spaces, so we weren’t taking a space from a hard-working trucker):
And went into the diner for lunch:
