This Exciting adventure started out with the highest of hopes...Dad rented a beautiful RV to drive the family from Monument, Colorado to Nauvoo, IL. Unfortunately, the bathroom door on the RV broke before we left their house, and that set the tone for the RV's performance for the rest of the trip!
We broke down for a time in Ellesworth, KS. Here Dad borrowed tools from the gas station owner and got the RV move but could not put it back in park without risking another stall of the engine, so he had to drive off with the borrowed tools...hahaha don't worry Dad mailed them back:-)
We did make it to Nauvoo where we met Emily, Jeremy, Lauren, and Jon and Karen Brogden. We had a fabulous time there without the RV (which we left in a repair shop). We stayed in a cabin, visited the sites, did sealings in the temple, and flew home through St. Louis, MO (we also got to see a bit of St. Louis, including going up in the arch).
The trip was not a bust, but the RV was!
