It all started out well this morning. It was a beautiful sunny day for our ride up the Payette Scenic Drive to McCall. We were just about to start our climb up the mountain when the dreaded engine light came on again. This time Kathe and Jim decided to pay serious attention to warning. Thank goodness for Google! They found a Freightliner Elite Dealer in Nampa, a few miles away and explained the problem to them. They told us to get there as soon as possible as the exhaust problem was serious enough damage the engine if we tried to make it to McCall.
We spent the whole day in the service lounge waiting to hear the diagnosis and it wasn't pretty. We need a part that won't arrive until sometime tomorrow from the Cummins Dealer in Denver.
So here we are, back again in Caldwell for the night. We will go to Freightliner tomorrow and hopefully the part will arrive in time for us to continue our trip to McCall.
The highlight of my day was sharing a burger with Kathe in the parking lot of Jack in the Box. That was delicious. I also scored a few peanuts while she was scarfing down a Payday bar from the candy machine. The peanuts were bouncing off the candy bar and I was catching them before she could stop me. All in all, not a bad day from my point of view
