Day 54 - When life gives you lemons

Sad day today.  The Motorhome broke down on the highway about 150 km outside of Elkford.  But as they say, when life gives you lemons make lemonade!


Quite the adventure.

About 20 minutes into our trip home the motorhome broke down (lemon).  Thankfully we were able to get far enough over on the highway that we had a safe place to wait for a tow truck...  Three hours later thanks to some "technical difficulties" with BCAA (lemon) a tow truck finally showed up.


Here is where the adventure began.  The tow truck could only fit Harrison + 1 more (lemon) and Vinnie was able to stay in the RV for the ride back to Elkford.  BCAA suggested that one of us hitchhike.  (lemon)

I opted for biking towards Elkford as Emily and Harrison rode in the tow truck back to Elkford.  Once in Elkford they had to pick up our truck and drove back to get me.  (lemon)

60 km's later I finally made it to my goal on the bike, the 3&93 Dairy Bar.  We had passed this food joint numerous times, always long line ups - it must be good.  Here, I was finally able to turn all the days lemons into lemonade...  Upon arrival I enjoyed a small ice cream cone and some lemonade before hitting the road again (yes I saved some lemonade for Emily).  Quite anticlimactic as we still had an hours drive ahead of us.

After a very long day, 9 hours later, we all made it home safe and sound and excited for bed!
