Lots of adventures this past week...some really good - other's not so much! We are having fun with it all though...and keeping a good attitude about it. The highway was rough - in talking to other travelers we have come to the conclusion it's the worst we've ever seen it - and then you add 60 feet of vehicle...not very fun. We had more problems with the electrical outside of Liard hotsprings - very interesting to rewire a trailer on the side of the road, in the cold and dark - and have none of the wire colors match the ones on the diagram... But we made it happen - and laughed while doing it so it's all good.

Around that time we developed a rattle that we couldn't place (and still haven't) - because we were worried it was a tire we kept stopping to check different parts of the rig - so that slowed us down. We did get a soak at Liard (I'll put pictures up later) - love that place!

As you facebook people know our newest grandbaby was born on October 1st! Welcome to the world Sydney Ann!

Outside of Fort Nelson the road become decent - we got through Dawson Creek and all of a sudden the RV overheated. Thankfully we were near a good turnout and were able to pull over to get out of the road. Scott looked at everything he could think of and found the fan belt was destroyed. About that time a passer by knocked on the door - he was driving down from Salcha, Alaska and wanted to park near other Alaskan's for the night - turns out he was a mechanic. He looked at the engine and discovered the fan had come off the shaft - so even bigger problems...

We had a nice dinner and fellowship with Bob - and then in the morning we unloaded the truck and Scott drove into Grande Prairie. He found a Cat dealer who sent a mechanic out to assess the damage - and jerry rig the engine so we could go short distances. We ended up driving to Hythe, Alberta and found an RV park.

Hopefully tomorrow (Monday) they will get the part and be able to get it going...please say prayers for us!
