Floated the Madison today…started out tough, was cold, windy, and rained pretty good…glad my wife decided to cancel. Fishing was tough, only a few sinks and a couple whitefish…

 

[Brute]

Late afternoon the weather improved dramatically…and so did the fishing

Finally put a few bows into the net…

Wade fished the Gallatin today…it’s a beautiful river…

 

[Brute]

Had lunch with Jsouder53 & his brother in law. It’s nice to put a face to a name …thoroughly enjoyed meeting him…went back to the river to fish some more (I know, hard to believe)…

Typical Gallatin bow…most were in the 14”-15” range…good fun on the 4wt

It was great to have lunch and visit with you today! Thank you for breaking away from the river to meet.

End of the trip…surprisingly good gas mileage for a 6.4 hemi. 20 states, just under 6900 miles, 115 hours of driving…now for an oil & filter change, tire rotation

Great mileage!
It’s getting harder and harder to not run out and order one of these.

It would have been better mileage if l didn't drive at 80 mph in large stretches of SD, MT & ID...which was the speed limit...

When we drove our YJ down to BC, Cindy followed me in the 392. We pretty much did 70-75 at most the whole way down. She was averaging over 19 mpg.

Had I driven Brute on this trip. it would have been 13.5...and the JK6, maybe 14...and my wife would not have gone with me.

The seats in the 392 are very comfortable, and when my back was starting to ache due to the hours in the seat, I just turned on the seat heater, which helped a lot...

Yes, the seat is very comfortable and I find that the lumbar adjustment helps a lot too.
