It all began at 5:30 a.m.
The sunrise was gorgeous
3.5 hours on a curvy road
Hugging the Clearwater River
Beth doing homework and napping
Jerry Johnson hot springs
Cool old pack bridge
1.5 mile hike on packed snow
But then, steam!
Clamber down a muddy cliff
Hot water fall
Pouring into a hot water pool
Only a few rocks separate us
From the freezing river water
Bathing suits and slick rocks
Soaking in a natural jacuzzi
(Camera decided to take a soak too)
Hiked back for lunch
Started driving home
Rounding a curve, ah! rocks!
Didn't swerve, maybe should have...
*clunk* maybe it went under?
*CLUNK* smoke, smell, stop!
Pink transmission fluid gushing out
My mom is going to kill me
Flagged down a car seconds after
Nice couple
Going to Montana to get... a buffalo
Little lodge and restaurant
So nice, let us use their phone
So many calls!
Yeah, I cried
Tow truck finally came and got us
Nice old guy, no front teeth
Long drive to Kamiah
Almost fell asleep several times
$500 in towing fees
But $175 pity discount
Sorry girlie, transmission is totaled
Amazing Abby picked up me and Beth
Dad and I will get the poor car tomorrow
And now, tea and Planet Earth
Thank you God, for nice people, discounts, and safety
