Now we made it down the road and as the sun was setting we pulled into a TA (a truck stop that you can park overnight at, which also has showers for $12, laundry and restaurants). Oh and our odometer turned over to 100,000 miles…so we are now back to zero miles and counting… they didn’t make the oometers to go over 100K, I wonder if that seemed like so much back then…like 64 megs of space on a hardrive back in the day seemed a huge amount of space to fill. Well we made a nice cuppa’ tea, played a game of crib and snuggled in for the night. In the morning we filled up Olive and filled up our tummies and headed for the state of Alabama. Along the way we pulled into a rest area….to well…rest etc. and when we got back into Olive she obviously hadn’t rested long enough as again no life. We decided to pull a Little Miss Sunshine (which Jody had mentioned back in Perry). So there I am at the wheel with Mark pushing behind and an absconded volunteer helping out. I pop the clutch and life returns to our bus. Now we know we have to replace the starter which means staying somewhere for a bit until the part comes in. We are on our way to New Orleans if she makes it there! Say a prayer!
