Montana traffic
Hangin with the locals at the Silver Dollar Bar
Somewhere in Idaho
Crossing the mighty ColumbiaLeft Missoula about 10:00 a.m. Made it over all of the mountain passes without incident. Joyce says it was easier going across in the motorhome than in the car. We guess that is because the motorhome goes about 55 m.p.h. while the car usually goes about 70.
We arrived at the Lake Easton Resort in Easton Washington about 5:30 p.m. We are less than 100 miles from home, but didn't want to go home tonight as it will take a good part of the day to unload the motorhome, etc.
Had another Gremlin pop up this evening. When I went to unhook the car, it was totally dead.
Called for a jump start, but when the car started it ran at half power. Turned it off, then restarted it, and it ran normal except for the check engine light staying on. I just hope that it starts tomorrow, so we can get the rest of the way home. Since we have two other cars at home, it isn't a necessity. At that point, I can take it into the shop, and they can keep it as long as needed. This is very similar to the incident in South Carolina about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Maybe this will all make sense to a mechanic, and they can solve it easily (Ha Ha).
Tomorrow the plan is to leave here about 10:00 a.m., get to Stanwood about 1:00 p.m. and make it back to the house by 7:00 or so.
