Sunday, July 23, 2006 - Cortez, Colorado

Since the air conditioner was not working well yesterday, we decided to travel early before it got hot.   No one could work on the car on Sunday.   We got up early and left at 7:00.  We had driven about thirty miles when the motor on the car stopped running.  Bob pulled over to the side and Susan called AAA.  We waited for about ninety minutes before the tow truck arrived.  The driver put the car on the flat bed of the truck and hooked the trailer up behind the tow truck with our hitch.  We drove back to Cortez.  On the way, the driver told us that he could drop off the trailer at an RV park or he could drop us off at a motel and then drop off the car at a mechanic’s garage.  We decided to stay at an RV park that was really close to the mechanic’s garage.  The driver was very kind to us.  When we arrived at the RV park, the driver unhitched the trailer and we quickly set up camp.  Susan stayed at the trailer while Bob went with the driver to the mechanic’s garage.  When Bob returned, we finished setting up the camper.  A neighbor came over and offered to take us if we needed to go somewhere.  We relaxed for the rest of the day.
