So the highlight of our day was the great shower, getting the laundry done, and playing some canasta, with several walks around the RV park.  So much for 24/7 roadside repair.  I could walk a mile  and a half to Walmart for excitement, but not even any hiking trails around.  Oh well….at least we have shelter, ac, food, and a bed to sleep, and it’s not like it was an accident or something serious. And we now have another good story to tell! 

7 am Monday, and we’re back on the phone, hoping to get this resolved and get back on the road.
