Wreckers Come and Wreckers Go.

Eric from Mr. Wrecker out of Marquette arrived about 11:30. It turned out his "stinger", the low boom that extends from under the tow truck and attaches under the coach, was not long enough to reach the front suspension hardware necessary to lift the vehicle. There was no other suitable suspension or frame member closer to the front coach. Eric was a really nice guy, and I appreciate that he knew enough to know that his equipment would not do the job without potentially damaging the coach. After a little fuming and cussing (by me, not Eric) he called Coach-Net to let them know about the problem. If Coach-Net had transmitted all the info to Eric that they had taken from me last night, he would have known that it wouldn't work, and they could have dispatched a different wrecker. Eric has gone and Coach-Net said they would find us another tow. At 1:10 Coach-Net called and said a suitable tow was being dispatched from Ironwood MI 2.5 hours away (and our original destination last night).

I guess I didn't mention the weather here. It has been misting rain since we stopped last night and is currently 51 degrees. The forecast through tomorrow is for more rain and even colder temperatures. Thankfully, we have all the comforts of home here in the coach as we wait patiently in Stump's parking lot. Or not so patiently: 17 hours and counting.
