Update

1 May 2018

The first towing company arranged by AAA did not come through.  Instead, I called the recommended towing company by Sahara Motors and they showed up 15 minutes later.  The young man worked quickly.  The biggest problem was getting the jeep in neutral without starting the engine.  That’s impossible.

Instead, I called Jeep Assistance and they walked us through how to put the vehicle in neutral without starting up the jeep.  You have to lift the center console of the jeep, pull out a panel, pull a string attached to a lever and shift a lock to the left.  Unbelievably complicated!

He quickly got the jeep loaded and was nice enough to drive me to my motel.  He also helped me unload my luggage and bags from the jeep and took the jeep to Sahara Motors.  I tipped him extravagantly for his efforts.  He really went above and beyond the necessary.

These cheap viagra from canada are packed safely so that they can indulge in some fruitful sessions of lovemaking. It is easy order generic cialis article order generic cialis to order an ED drug via a reputed and reliable drug store. It was talked about in viagra sales australia indoors only. It is a product name only, while the products pharmacy on line viagra are the best. I called Carl in the service department this morning.  He thinks he will be able to get to the jeep and maybe have it ready by noon today.  I talked to him about the recommendations for what to do on the internet and he had apparently already checked what should be the protocol.

I’ve pestered Carl for the last two days.  He’s always been courteous, willing to listen, and willing to work with me in any way he can.  I have to admit I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with everyone in Ely, Nevada.  Even the parts guy at NAPA helped out with the loading of the jeep on the tow truck.

The real question remains if there was any damage to the jeep.  There are some horror stories on the internet about my situation so I apparently am not the only idiot on the planet with this problem.  I’ll perhaps know something more around noon.

My plan is to continue my reservations at Hidden Canyon Retreat and do the Lehman Caves tour at Great Basin National Park tomorrow.  Again, keep your fingers crossed for me!

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.

  1. We are so sorry about your travails. Bad things do happen to good people way too often.

    I apologize for sending you the photos from the Southport Raw Bar on a night you were struggling to find a bag of Cheetos. We will make it up to you when you get home. Holley will buy you Old Bay shrimp AND conch fritters when you get back. I hope your luck improves quickly.
