19/11: Truck Troubles
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
Only a six hundred km to drive today and we gain an hour, so we opted for a slightly later start. Didn't leave till 9am, how nice was that.
Another beautiful day for driving, sun and comfortable temperatures. All was well till we were less than 100 km to our destination and the "low coolant light" came on. We pulled off at the next exit (only 1 mile away) and pulled into a gas station, bought some radiator fluid and filled up the reservoir . Hoping it was due to evaporation we continued on our way. First thing Ed did when we arrived at the RV park was to check the fluid .... it was done and there was coolant all over the engine. As you can image Ed was not a happy camper. The truck has an appointment with a GM dealer tomorrow (unfortunately the nearest dealer is an hour away). Let's hope the problem can be fixed quickly.
We are now at Bosque Bird Watchers RV just outside of San Antonio, New Mexico and have met up with our friends John and Carol. Deciding Ed needed something to make him happy, I sent Ed and John off to see the birds coming in to roost at sunset .... they drove John's truck.
