It is a real bummer to end a vacation like that like Slkipknpt said, but it could have been worse and happened on the way to Moosehead. Now that's a real bummer, been there, done that.
Not worth hauling my barge up there eh, whew that a relief.
Thanks the comments guys. My wife and I discussed just what John S. said -- what if it were on the way to Moosehead? That trip is 8.5 - 9 hrs at 75-80 mph ("highway trolling speed"). What a nightmare that would have been. Fortunately its a "work" truck and we'll get the motor replaced and relegate it to "local" work. Now I've got to find a new truck...
We're getting 2+ in of rain.
P.S. I've got to get up to Winni for a trip out with one of you guys this fall. I can't tow right now, but I'm seaworthy...
