We were told that we would be getting our Jeep back by late morning. While waiting for the call I went to the CG office to see if there had been any cancellations, hoping we wouldn’t have to move. No such luck we had to leave.
We hadn’t heard anything by 11 am so headed over to the Mary Lake CG. Yes, we did secure a site for Friday and Saturday – no problems. I guess the booking issue from Thursday was resolved.
The sites at Mary Lake weren’t very big so we had to take up all the available dirt there was. Full hook-ups and only $27.00 a night. Not a beautiful place but a site that we needed, so we were good with that.
At the park there was a large group called the On the Fly Ladies. It was a woman's group that had both an interest in fly-fishing and vintage travel trailers. They were there for the weekend and had an open house planned that got rained on.
There were at least 35- 40 vintage trailers. All a little different and some vey unique.
We waited all day for a phone call from the repair shop but the hours kept ticking by. Finally, At 4:45 PM Ron called them. The shop closed at 5 PM so we were definitely getting nervous. Well, the Jeep was NOT finished but they would stay until it was done. Oh dear, now we’re looking at OT. How much was that going to cost??????
Around 6 PM we got the call that they would be retuning our repaired car to us. Ron was told that it was better then new but that there was an odd sound coming from the font end not related to the repair. What now? Does it ever end???? Ron paid the guy $400.00 for the repair and we finally had our car back.
Sure enough there was an odd grinding sound when going over a speed bump. Never had that noise before so not sure what it was.
Well, we had a show to attend so couldn’t dwell on any new issues. We met Don and Martha at the theater. The show was great and much better then we expected. There didn't seem to be anything they couldn’t do from rock & roll to opera and everything in between. We were stomping our feet, clapping our hands, singing along and reliving our youth. Just an all round great show!!!!
After the show we went back to Don & Martha’s Fifth Wheel and had Peach pie with ice-cream and coffee. We talked until 11:30 PM and then we headed back to our CG. Another great evening with our new/old friends.
Since we had the Jeep back, our plan was to take the 96 mile R/T road trip through RMNP on Saturday. Another great day despite the mechanical problems we were encountering.
