YEAH! We FINALLY got our motor running!




Today has been one of the most stressing days! I was beginning to think that we would be spending the night in the storage lot for trailers! After 3 attempts - and 4 hours later - we got a guy that used a booster pack on one battery - while also hooking his car up to the trucks 2nd battery! I was praaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaying! Thank you Jesus! Is all I can say because the truck turned over. YEAH! We drove approximately an hour and a half, (70 miles or so), and stopped at a KOA that we reserved for the night = in a place called Clewiston, FL near Lake Okeechobee. Wow! Isn't that a mouth full!
We hadn't eaten all day long - so we stopped at Carrabbas before heading out on the highway - but it was a little nerve-wrecking because we couldn't turn the engine off for fear that it wouldn't start back up again. So thankfully, Steve had another key and we left it idling while we ate. I'm so glad no one took off with our truck and 29' travel trailer! Steve would have been elated however - as it would be worth the insurance money. NOT! NO way! Such a hassle.
Anyway - we stopped for the night - and will head out tomorrow toward Venice to see my Aunt and cousins. Unfortunately, due to the battery dying - our travel trailer pull-out will NOT pull out! We are hopeful that in the morning the batteries will have had a chance to recharge!
