Friday
We decided to go up through Weiser,
Cambridge, etc.
We actually got out of town early...we planned to be up there early to see all
the
ice sculptures before the crowds got there... best laid plans of mice and men...
Outside of Weiser white smoke began
billowing out of the car...
A little over an hour later the tow truck
arrived to tow us back to Weiser...
A couple of hours later it was determined
that the radiator was completely clogged...
the guys at Steve's were really wonderful and gave us a loaner car for the
weekend
Lets try this again... but now we were
late, not early...
