June 6 – Murphy strikes again!

Day 26 – We are now in wooded rolling hills which are a prelude to the Ozark Mountains.  The humidity is up along with the temperature.  Nothing else to do but go into town and do laundry and make a Wal-Mart run while awaiting the cyclists to catch up with us. We finally know where we all are by use of cell phone, no problems, right?

While parked in front of the Laundromat known as “Bubba’s Bubbles” (no kidding), I noticed a large pool of water forming under the truck.  You guessed it – I have a water pump problem and, of course, it’s Sunday and everything is closed.  Having a trusty supply of coolant in the back of the truck, we replenished the loss and proceeded back to the campground.  Carrie and Jerry arrived and we spent a very pleasant evening planning the next day’s event – getting the water pump replaced.
