I know that a picture is worth a thousand words but black against black just does not work.
Our trip to the Oregon coast started out smoothly until a mile outside of Bliss when the car just stopped in the middle of the freeway. We coasted to the side and Jim and Dad checked to see if they could find out the problem. No luck and so we called triple A, thanks to Aunt Linda. A tow truck was dispatched and we sat and waited.
It was my first ride in that type of vehicle and we headed to Boise at the speed of 80 mph at times. What a ride. We arrived at the GMC dealership about midnight parked the truck and headed home with Aunt Colleen and Uncle Lyle. Sleep was not easy to come by that night.
The next morning found us at the dealership anxious for a diagnosis. I don't understand cars but I do know it was not good, but that it was probably the fault of the repairs that were recently done or a faulty part.
We abtained a rental car and headed out. We were told it would take 19 hours to take the car apart and find out the exact extent of the problem.

Well that is a rocky start to your trip. Hopefully you've gotten the bad luck out of the way, and you enjoy the rest of your time.
Your lovely experience reminds me of my childhood trips from UT to CA... I don't recall a year there wasn't something that broke down. The motorhome was the worst... Anyway, I hope things go smoothly the rest of the trip! Love Dan and Joy
