On the road again...and broke down again...

So we left Thursday the 14th from Vegas with Alan and Lauri following and made it easily to Idaho Falls Idaho. No problems except for trailer lights that didn't work, and about 2o miles in the dark in very dense falls. Lilly and Hamilton did well. Friday started out very well we left before 5 and made it to Butte Montana. We stopped and got the lights fixed and had breakfast at Starbucks with Alan and Lauri before we parted ways, us to the north into Canada and they to the North West to pick up airplane wings. We made it into Canada no problems everything was fine. And then it happened... about 30 miles south of our destination for the evening, Mike and I were talking about the "excitement" of our trip being over and now all we had to do was drive when he looked at me and I knew something was wrong, the engine had died. He had no power steering, nothing happened when he stepped on the gas. He pulled over... the truck wouldn't start we were done. Panic set in for a few moments and then, having some very recent experience with such matters, we called the insurance company got a tow truck and a taxi and then we sat, and sat and sat, fortunately the wind had died down though it was still cold. Mike jumped out and flagged a car down to make sure we had given the tow and taxi drivers a correct location. About 2 hours later the taxi showed up and then the tow truck. We got checked into a our hotel and the tow truck driver took the truck to a reliable shop and dropped off and locked up our trailer in their parking lot. The repair guy called us last night, they were still at work having a beer when the truck was dropped off, after a few minute of "what happened" talk with Mike he said he was thinking it was the fuel pump and would bump us to priority in the morning and let us know as soon as he knew what was going on.

We are safe and warm and staying here again tonight. Hopefully we can get on the road again tomorrow.

What an adventure we are having.
