West Yellowstone - Day 5 - 7am - Coffee Break

Traveling through 7 states in less than a week seemed like a grueling trip, however, the scenery and XM made the trip very pleasant, as part of my strategy was to PACE myself and enjoy the drive.

The TT behaved fairly well, as going into Salt Lake my anti-lock was displayed on the monitor, and once we started the drive - Day 2, my chip started acting up and went limp several times (so with no power while going 70 mph, I had to turn engine off and restart........but of course I was in 4th gear so the while I lost some speed, I was able to keep up. Surprisingly, once we got into Yellowstone and even while coming home, there were no more chip/limp issues.
