Gorgeous location. It's a visual delight.

We had a great stay in Bryce. Family consensus is it’s better than the Grand Canyon. A near by wild fire kept us out the pool this PM but wasn’t much of an issue inside the park. We made a day trip to Zion.

I think we’re at about 3400 miles and I need to add 2.5 gallons of DEF for the second time. You start getting the nagging warnings once you get below half full. Looks like I have used some oil but it’s a digital oil gauge so it’s not like reading a dip stick. Maybe 1/2 qt. At any rate it was at the max line after the oil change 4200 miles ago now it right in the middle. Let’s call it a qt per 10k miles. Well within spec. (Spec allows a qt every 1000 miles).

I attribute the oil consumption to 100+ degree days at 80 mph. If I didn’t have a schedules I would not push it that hard.

That's covering a lot of miles. Will you be making it up to the Enchantments?

No. Arches and then Mesa Verde. It’s like 103 here today! At the park entrance by 8:20. Trail head by 9: and off by 11:45 and it was 97! Took a neat drive outside of Moab on BLM road just to have the opportunity to sit in some AC.
