Gremlin Day
We got off to a good, early start this morning as we headed out to Fort Hall, Idaho, a trip of 350 miles. A little way down the road the darn transmission pump alarm started chirping again. It would just come and go. Then we stopped for gas and it just would not quit chirping. That's not a full out scream, just an irritating noise.
So we put up with that and then later stopped at a rest area. When we started up the speedometer was not working! Yikes! So about 5 miles down the road Jim pulled off the road to turn off the engine and see if the speedometer would start up. Yup! Guess it's like a computer. First thing to do when there's a problem...reboot :) So we don't know what that little anomaly was all about.
When we stopped for lunch we fooled around with all the connections and found a loose wire on the pump itself. Taped that up and voila...no alarm noise. That was a relief! But then a third gremlin appeared. This one we are used too. The rear view camera seems to blip out when it gets overheated. Turn it off for awhile and then it works again. One of these days we'll have to get that fixed :)
We arrived at Fort Hall in the campground behind the casino about 4 PM. It's nice and warm and the sun won't be setting for 3 hours so we still have daytime left. Jim is cleaning the windshield and I'm whomping up some One Pot. (That's where you see what you have to throw in the pot with some ground beef and make a stoup.)
A full tummy, a good nights' sleep and we'll be ready to tackle Salt Lake City tomorrow :)
