In july we were headed across north cascades highway 20.. about 20 miles from cell service transmission decided to leak... immediately I pulled over.. I might of cussed a couple times... after rolling backward to a safer spot. The wife and I decided her and our 4 month old were staying and I was hitch hiking... the first person I raised my thumb to, pulled over. They made some jokes to my wife about stealing me, then we headed for cell service. They decided they would tow my tt the rest of the way for me. We reached cell service I called a tow truck to pick up my truck and deliver it 141 miles to my house! Then I road with strangers 2 hours to get their TV. Turns out exact TV as mine. We headed back up the mountain. All in all I was gone for 6 hours from my wife who had no cell service. We hooked up with my WDH. And continued on. They were the 2 best people I ever could have met. I ended up spending 500 on diesel, 418 for towing, and 800 for new seals in my transmission. Plus 3.5 roundtrips across the pass. The wife, our daughter and I had a great trip! It is what you make it... 3 weeks later, again crossing highway 20. First night I put a dent in my tail gate rushing around. Oops , I stopped rushing. Then, we ran out of propane at 2am. Oops, my fault. The DD needs the furnace on. Bundle her up and back to bed. This was another great trip.
