Brandon and I got a good night's sleep at our hotel in Island Park, Idaho. Before we could get on the road, however, we had an unexpected delay. The handle of our stroller has been cracked for some time. You might remember that several weeks ago we bought hose clamps to secure the cracked handle on the stroller. Well, this morning we were carrying the stroller down the stairs of the hotel and the handle broke away from the stroller. Ouch! We now had a major problem with our equipment. As has happened many times this summer, generous people stepped in to help us. A hotel guest and a local cabin owner - Paul Roberts and David Phillipps - volunteered to help repair the handle. Paul and David disassembled the stroller and then used a metal sleeve, screws and a drill to fix the handle. After numerous trips to the local hardware store, the handle was better than new. We cannot thank them enough for helping us.
One correction to my post last night: Brandon (the navigator) informs me that our route does not take us through Idaho Falls. I believe the new route will take us south to Rexburg on Highway 20, west on 32 to Arco, back on Highway 20 to Mountain Home, and then northwest on the interstate to Ontario, Idaho.
With our stroller fixed once again, we are ready to hit the road again. That's all for now from Island Park, Idaho. |
