Go South. Restful but short night last night; was on the road by 7am. My first full day on the road included driving from the KOA Pueblo South/Colorado City (about 30 miles south of Pueblo, CO) to Abq, NM; basically 7am - 7pm with stops (see photos below). Although it was a lot of driving and the winds blew hard all day, I'm glad to be south of cold, rain, snow. Tomorrow, I'll leisurely continue southwest.
Another first today - had to add Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to my 2014 GMC 2500HD. I'd read about this in the manual but it wasn't until the message center on my dash informed me I was running low that I thought more about it. Evidently, DEF helps diesel run cleaner; however, like diesel, it is consumed by the engine so it needs to be periodically (every few thousand miles they say) replaced. With about 4700 miles on the truck, this is the first time I've added. The intake is located under the hood and the tank holds 5.3 gallons - I added 5 gallons! Although it can be purchased at most truck stops, I stopped at a GMC dealer in Abq. and added it while in their parking lot.
