Delay in Return


Yes....This is a picture of a wrecker in front of my parent's motor home. On Saturday morning we left WOL Family Campground in New York to head home. Once we had cleared the 2 hours in the mountains and been on the tollway for about 30 miles we ran into problems.
It had started to rain very hard. We were on the toll way and the motor home started losing speed. The engine was running but we were getting no where quickly. We pulled off and after a couple of attempts realized we were not going anywhere.
God had it all worked out.
*10 miles of construction was a 1/2 mile ahead of us.
*A state police officer and a big wrecker were sitting in the turn around right besides us.
*The wrecker took us to their repair shop.
*Repair shop closed would not be able to look at us until Monday.
*Repair shop had a Best Western within walking distance.
*Found a 7 passenger van after 2 hours. Thought we might have to rent 2 vehicles.
*Spent multiple hours in Niagara Falls which was a bonus.
*Dad brought our van to Niagara Falls Sunday Night.
*The motor home was not serious.
*We came back home on Monday afternoon along with my brother Daniel's Family.
*Dad & Mom returned the rental car and got the motor home.
*Dad & Mom went back to my brothers and Dad got to visit with them.
So....everything worked out great but it was not what we expected at all.
I will post vacation pictures soon.
