Yet Another Oil Pressure Post

However....this weekend, when travelling down hill on a cool, foggy morning, for an extended time, (10 minutes), my temp gage dropped to about 120 degrees.

I've previously verified dash gage readings vs. a digital thermometer.

Temp came right back up as soon as the engine was loaded. Guess I now need to check operation of my thermostat...

Sounds like your thermostat could be sticking. If it sticks in a fixed position, say half open, it can cause overcooling (downhill no throttle) and overheating under heavy loads. Its easy to check without dismantling to much and they are not expensive.
