Kentucky trip, day 23

Tuesday, May 8, 2007

We left and headed home. We stopped briefly near Fremont, Missouri with RV engine belt problems. Robert fixed the problem and we went on, but he wasn't happy with the way the air conditioner was working or rather not working. So deep in the Kentucky woods he found what he refers to as a "shade tree mechanic" and that is his favorite kind of mechanic. The mechanic was ready to add more coolant, but discovered the system was fully pressurized and that was not the problem and he admitted that he had no idea what was wrong nor how to fix it.

We stopped after 362 miles and the hour or two stop for "fixes." We found a random spot off the beaten track. I made dinner and shortly after dinner we crashed. We had just gotten to bed when two autos arrived. Robert went out to see what was going on and one auto left, but the other stayed so he thought we'd better move on. They might just be lovers, but then again they might not. In the next town we spotted a hospital and decided to stop in the parking lot for the night. Jeanne had suggested that might work in an emergency, and it did. We still got up at 4:30 AM and left.
