Memorial weekend Kenmare got 4 inches of rain, and I got stuck. I took some pine boughs put them under the back wheels, said to myself, “Sudeith, don’t make a small problem a big problem”. I got behind the wheel, put it in low, gave it some gas (too much?), got it going, the motor quits and a puff of black smoke is emitted from the dashboard. Two days later, Tuesday, the AAA tow truck arrives driven by a 17 year old kid (girlfriend along for the ride) who says, “Sounds like the motor”, and he was correct. Long story short, it was cheaper to buy a new van, my time excluded.
