Broken Down

It never fails....just when we get comfortable we seem to have one problem or another. This time its a only a broken belt on the engine, but we are pretty far from any truck stop for repairs. We did get or are getting someone to help but we are patiently waiting for them to arrive. Unfortunately, we won't make Charlotte to meet with friends One thing that is kind of neat though is our new DATASTORM internet connection. We can connect via satellite anywhere in the US as long as we have a clear view of the southern sky. At any rate, while we waited we were able to surf the web as well as try to locate a part for the motorhome. I know... a fun toy though and as an added feature it picks up Direct TV automatically (for a price of course) Below is a picture of the dish deployed.

Anyway after almost 6 hours of sitting we were back on the road. Our special thanks to Brock Tire & Service of London, Kentucky....they treated us very well and it was much appreciated.
We will miss spending time with our friends the Ritchies and Delmars...maybe next years trip.
