The first time we had no issues but the second time we had the same old problem. The engine recovered pretty quickly &#8211; a minute or so &#8211; and the noise was kept to a minimum because I have replaced the exhaust manifold gasket. I guess we will have to learn to live with it. I did check the distributor and the advance is still moving freely &#8211; don&#8217;t know if the spring post is still OK or not but at least the advance is not stuck on any more.<\/p>\n<p>We are camping at Wind Cave National Park and it is beautiful. \u00a0Very serene. \u00a0Camping is only $9 per night &#8211; no hookups of course but that&#8217;s why it is so quiet and peaceful here. \u00a0The ranger told us the camping area has never been filled. \u00a0I guess lots of people don&#8217;t like dry camping but we love it (short term of course). \u00a0When we drove into the park, we saw the small herd of buffalo pictured above and then later saw one resting near the road. \u00a0Tomorrow is the big buffalo roundup in Rapid City and we will miss seeing it so glad that we got to see these guys today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"facebook\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/2015\/09\/24\/wind-cave-national-park-vapor-issues-but-fewer-of-them\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-facebook-plugin\/facebook_share_icon.gif\" alt=\"Share on Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/2015\/09\/24\/wind-cave-national-park-vapor-issues-but-fewer-of-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\">Share on Facebook<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we drove about 5 hours from the Northeast corner of Colorado to Wind Cave National Park in Southwest South Dakota.
