The good news or the bad...ok, the bad. We turned around at the Canadian Border, ok, really 26 miles short of the Canadian border on the east side of Glacier National Park...yes, again! The proverbial "straw" is that the upstairs AC in our house is pretty much dead, and we need to return to deal with it...repair or replace (I'm betting on replace, it's a good 18 years old). My daughter in law, with our two grandkids, tried to stay one night during their move last week and found the thermostat set at 78, the AC supposedly running, and the temperature 98•. No resets worked so am betting "repair" isn't really an option. Yes, there have been other issues...bent trailer axle and tire wear, Tahoe AC issues, maybe not enough power to do mountains with the old Tahoe 350,(ha, ha) and a few others we were willing to try to work through, but for any of you remembering prior posts where we were away during the hot, rainy season, we're not willing to experience another AC malfunction. Our last one resulted in a complete reflooring of our downstairs living area, kitchen and pantry. Really..much more expensive than just delaying this trip a year or so. Delay is the right word too, we've just transferred the deposit to next available caravan. So.. that's the bad.
The good... we've had a great trip so far. We aren't rushing home but will not be spending weeks in any area, so still have enjoyment ahead (outside of what will inevitably cost a fortune in a new AC in my opinion) and I will catch up my blog (for you who care) and keep it up, going home. It will be chronologically out of order a bit, but hey, who cares? The other really good part..wait for it Jeremy...Hazel will definitely NOT be making the next try to get us to Alaska!!
