Come on, Gary is a beautiful place.

The thermostat? Yep, dump it. Anyway, it only takes five minutes.

Backflush the radiator with a pressure fitting on a garden hose (at least) from the engine side and see what kind of crap comes out of it. That is something I recommend doing every season, as dirt and debris accumulate in the fins of the radiator. Quickly.

If the temp gauge STILL creeps up like that, give the dashboard a sharp whack, in the vicinity of the temp gauge. If that changes it's behavior in a very short period of time, consider bad signal circuitry.
