The car is checked out

The car is a 2004 Suburu Outback. It went in last week for a pre-trip checkup and now has a new battery, brakes, sparkplugs, belts, transmission and differential fluids, and a new outlook. I will put new tires on it by the middle of the month. Then we should be in good shape. I'm figuring about 4000 miles, but that is just a guess. The most challenging stretch for the car will be the Dalton Highway (featured this year on Ice Road Truckers), a mostly gravel highway that serves the Prudoe Bay oil fields. We will drive it about halfway, to Wiseman, a little north of Coldfoot at the base of the Brooks Range.

    From Linda: 7-20-09. We both verified that we have done our laundry although the actual packing isn't started, at least Linda's bags. It is getting close though!
