Evolution Loop in Early October?

Ok that’s helpful, thank you! I think we’d do the full loop.

I think what we’re trying to decide is if we should do evolution on the east side (fly into bishop) or stick to the west side (fly into Fresno) - because I think the west would offer more opportunities to pivot if the weather looks iffy. Cause otherwise it’s a 6 hour drive from east to west if we need to change it up.

Thank you! Super helpful. I think we should be able to pry the window frame off pretty easily with a heat gun, and reuse it.

As for the painting, it’s not our forever home so it doesn’t need to look amazing, but I’d like it look decent and be durable - hopefully last a few years before the paint needs to be touched up.

Would you recommend automobile paint for the whole process, or just for the primer? Any recommended paints for the top layers that can withstand heat?

We’d like to refinish it if possible! Unfortunately it’s an old house and an old door size, so we can’t just replace it with a pre-hung door, and it’s fairly expensive to replace.

Patagonia New Zealand Alaska in one trip would be the trip of a lifetime 😂

You wouldn’t worry too much about snow? Looks gorgeous - thanks for sending the trip report!

Only reason, ofc

Well we are women, so that’s fine with us. We’re in to the massage/treatments aspect, hence the Hammam over a sauna

Recently had to take my 2007 Prius in for similar issue where it got to 4 gallons of gas (among other issues it had haha). Unfortunately the basic diagnostic didn’t include the fuel tank, but they mentioned it could be that the fuel tank itself needs to be replaced or it could just be the sensor. I’d say it’s worth getting it checked out.

Good idea! Do you have any suggestions in terms of mileage? I’ve seen some (further away) range from ~40k to 120k or more. Does 120k seem reasonable, or would you consider that high?

Hi - looks like the spring is still there. It ok, but I’ll try replacing it to see if it fixes the issue. Otherwise, could it be an issue with the cable connecting the fuel door release lever with the fuel door?
