Journey Notes

(posted on 17 Jun 2012)

Today was a pretty uneventful one. For the most part, we stayed in the Walmart parking lot since we didn't want to take VanGo anyhere else and get stuck. The weather was a humid 25-26 degrees and we had some intermittent showers. We realized almost too late that our isolator for our deep cycle battery wasn't working properly, which means we almost drained two (2) batteries today running our gadgets and computers. Once we realized this, we shut everything down and were lucky to get VanGo started again. So, tonight, our update will be brief and will not include any pictures (not that there are any new ones to share :-).

Geoff and I are hoping for the best tomorrow morning at the mechanics. We've run the engine and while the sensors say it's overheating, we're not seeing or feeling any heat. Perhaps it's a thermostat issue or a sensor one. That would be nice if it were. Hopefully, we'll have some positive news about VanGo in the morning and where things stand...until then greetings, yet again, from the lovely Walmart parking lot in Grand Forks, North Dakota!
