SATURDAY

Getting to Lemars

 

  Saturday was less than perfect.  The bus was loaded and rolled out about 6:30PM, 15 miles down the road ... breakdown.  Lucky for us apparently mechanics cruise Hwy 18 in search of work, as 3 of them we on the scene within the hour.  A few new parts and 4 or 5 hours later we were back on the road (with the stipulation to keep it under 50 mph the rest of the way).  We rolled into Lemars about 2:45AM (Special Thanks to our hosts for staying awake to let us in), and were sleeping by 3:30AM.  Totally cracked out members of the team woke up at 5AM ... I didn't.
