Just over halfway here mom calls and says their truck died and they are pulling off the road. Walker and I pulled off and we jetted back up in my car to see what the trouble was. The truck would start but wouldn't stay running. They called a tow and we threw as much as we could in Walker's truck, the trailer and my car and Walker and I headed down the road. We waited for them in Bozeman and after some rearranging were able to fit Mom, Ray, their stuff, and the rest of our stuff in our two vehicles and the trailer. It was quite the squish. We left their truck at the Ford dealership in Bozeman. Ray got a call Monday and the mechanic asked straight up if they had had the vehicle serviced recently. Apparently when they had the air filter changed before the trip the mechanic didn't ensure that the air box was completely clean; a bug had melted to the air flow sensor (or whatever it is) causing the truck to not run. At least it wasn't the fuel pump.
Our new place is great! We live less than a mile from the Yellowstone river which makes for a great run and we're very close to Walker's new work. OH and we have bunnies that live in the field behind our house and they like to spend the evenings on our front lawn!
I realized on our way up that this is almost like a vacation, except we're not going home. It's strange being so far from home and family, it's definitely going to take some getting used to.
View from the old place
Definitely going to miss these mountains
Between Billings and Bozeman
He hates pictures
Our new place!!!
I might be a little over excited that we have bunnies!
