The Big Trip West, Day Two - First Wrinkle

Call it Murphy's Law or whatever you want, but we're already being delayed a day. After running all morning to get it all done so we could leave this afternoon, Robert found a leak of some sort of fluid on the tire of the Jeep. I can't remember what it is but it doesn't really matter. He ran it right down to the shop but of course they can't get to it until tomorrow. So we'll be at Leavenworth another day. The good thing was first, that the sun was hitting the tire just right so that he could see it dripping on the tire. Second, that we were somewhere that we knew right where to take it. Third, that we were not left on the side of the road somewhere, or worse, we didn't mess up the axle while pulling the boat. Fourth, we're in a familiar place where we can entertain ourselves. And fifth, we have plenty of time to get to Lewis so we're not stressed over making up the day. So, while we have been delayed, there are a lot of things to be thankful for. Hopefully tomorrow I can report that the Jeep is fixed and we are ready to go. Stay tuned...
