Lovely scenery, lots of animals

Sorry everyone Scott did not call until I was already involved in reading and could not give it up. Anyway they left Fargo, North Dakota made it about 40 minutes and the fuel filters plugged up, No cell service and was stuck for 18 hours. Youch! He did not say if they found an exit or not but right beside the freeway no matter what would be a lousy place to spend 18 hours in the cold North Dakota weather. They got fixed and Marcel (sorry Marcel keep getting you name wrong) starts driving, the company called and told him he did not have any hours. Oh sorry Scott was driving just forgot to change codes. Scott needs to quit letting him do that.

Okay now the reason that the fuel filters, In Scott's Opinion, clogged up. I heard the first part of this story from Mary. As they were headed home to Springfield, Scott driving he wanted to stop to get fuel. Marcel said they would make it fine to the next stop. They ran out of fuel and Scott made Marcel walk, his mistake not Scott's, to get help anyway he had to get 15 gallons to start the truck. Which I assume is why the fuel gelled while they were in Springfield but mostly it was why the sucked up all the gunk from the bottom of the tank that made the fuel filters clog. He said that leaving Springfield they tried but finally cleared and the truck ran okay. No so Fargo and 18-hours because they ran out of fuel because Marcel was so anxious to get home. OOPS! I feel he probably will be out of time to stop very long in Las Vegas.

Scott says he loved the trip through Montana especially but thinks they went through land like the badlands in Dakota. They saw buffalo, antelope and deer in herds. Was pretty thrilled. He called when they were in Billings or thereabouts and said the weather for most of the day had been great, no snow in Montana, etc, etc. I told him we still had frozen fog which was beautiful.

I had a bad morning which turned into a long day. I was backing the car out past the jeep thought I was clear and crunch. Because it was so cold the bumper (plastic covering) just broke off the car not even a slight scratch on the jeep. I worried myself sick about telling Scott, but being the nice guy he is as soon as he found out the jeep was fine he did not mind. Anyway had a girls day, Bend and Redmond, Mary and Becky (who are barely talking to each other), Koryna (who drove because I was so shook about the car), Charlene and me. Tina met us in Bend and we did have fun. Tina hates me hair too! Oh well! Allen call with the scores tonight and Scott will be a happy camper. Thanks
