Monday Night in Pella

OK, we didn't get quite as far as we expected today.  After telling Sarah's family goodbye, we went to the Cummins service center and got the check engine light codes checked out.  We left the motorhome there and drove to Andrea's family goodbye.  We had gotten up to an empty propane tank this morning, so we drove the motorhome to a propane company and filled up and then to a truck stop to fill up the fuel tank and grab a bite to eat.  By then it was snowing.  After we hooked up the jeep and headed out of town we were having electrical problems.  With no tail lights or clearance lights, and the snow starting to get worse, we decided to pull off the road in Pella and try to fix it.  We found a blown fuse but had to go the Walmart to get a replacement.  Of course the replacement blew right away too.  If we unhooked the light cord to the jeep, it would work ok.  After disassembling the lights and socket on the jeep, the short finally went away.  By this time it was snowing harder and it was 4:30.   Not wanting it to happen again in the dark, we opted to spend tonight in the Walmart parking lot.  The snow has stopped, but they are expecting a low of 13 degrees tonight.  We really need to leave earlier in the year next year.
