Day 4 - Into Nevada

We are officially in Nevada which means we lose another hour as we enter the Pacific Time Zone. 433 miles remaining today.
In the mean time, our fuel gauge has been really screwy. It has been jumping between full and half full, but we know we have less than a third of a tank. Last night the fuel light came on in the middle of the Grand Tetons as we were at a dead stop in road construction 5 miles past the last fuel stop for miles. We looked at each other in panic wondering why our gauge was reading half a tank moments earlier and is now in the red. Furthermore, we had decided that we were getting really good gas mileage due to elevations and the large amounts of coasting and figured we would have no problem getting to Jackson, our next fuel stop. It was rather uneventful, seeing as we turned around and fueled up.

Total miles Driven: 1797
Today: 301
