back from Ft. Nelson

  What a nightmare in Ft/ Nelson. This town is sad. Not a nice place. Sorry residents. I was stuck there since Weds. Night. After breaking down in Toad river and meeting some very nice people who saved us. We finally got a tow truck to pick up the truck and dogs.

  The shop was notified and the owner stayed up late to meet us in the Tow truck. My helper Florian and I rode in the flat deck truck with my dog tuck on it to Ft. Nelson. Ben and Rachel stayed behind at Colin and Heather peakes place near Toad river. We have been waiting in town for three days to get it fixed. Florian and I looked after the dogs. Well I should say Florian looked after the dogs. I gave the orders. 

  The air pump which was just fixed quit spinning. The shop had to order the right air pump and idler pulleys. This turned out to be a hassle as nothing fit proper. We finally got all the idler pulleys and air pump fixed. It was very expensive. I couldn't believe the bill. Florian and I just made it back to toad river where the kids stayed. Everything went good for the kids. What nice people.

   While we were in Ft. Nelson Florian ran Ben and Rachel's teams. There were four teams of six to run and they are all done. I am very happy that the dogs were run and we are all back together. Thank god for all these nice people that live in the north. 

  My truck runs really good now. The mechanic also noticed some other issues with the truck which he fixed. I think that it may get better mileage now that it is running better. 

  Tonight we will shift some meat around from the truck to the horse trailer and head home in the morning. Organization is the main thing for the truck tonight. I want to leave early in the morning..
