They called this afternoon and said the engine is rebuild able for a fraction of the cost of buying a new car and modifying it so we can tow it. We won’t know if the transmission is ok until the engine works. John’s gut feeling is the tranny is ok since all 4 wheels still roll and it does not make noises when it does roll. If all goes well we could be on the road again by mid to late next week. John is the best person in the world to be with when sh—hits the fan, he just calmly checks all the options and then takes care of it. I try not to freak out.
We had to move to another campsite to stay the weekend, the other one was reserved for the weekend. John rented a car so we don’t have to drive the bus out sightseeing. He took the kayak out of the bathroom. We are staying in Mahlon Dickerson Reservation, it is a 3000 acre county park. Nice campground, lots of hiking.
I am starting another project. A cloth map of the USA so I can embroider our route on it. Here is the drawing and the tracing onto the back of the iron on backing, it goes on the back, so it is backwards. Is that like a triple negative, 3 backs??
After we heard the car was getting taken care of we went out for a hike. The the highest spot in the county. Here is a tree growing out of a rock and the afternoon light in the hardwood trees.
Me at the highest point, 1,395 feet. In front of the shortest highest point sign ever. A tree growing over a rock.
An inch long toad, a couple funnel shaped mushrooms and an orange mushroom. John calibrating his GPS to the altitude.
John on the trail. The bus in the new site, with the rental car, and the boat out of the bathroom.
Some of our gear from the car stuffed into the bay under the bus. The tray in the bay slides out, but if we slid it all the gear would fall out. The car usually looks like this.
