How did we get here? Well last weekend we decided to take our first camping trip with friends who I camped with when I was a child. We thought we'd leave a day early with my parents in tow. We made it to the dirt road down by the salt n sea and we were a mile on the dirt road when Jason's Explorer died. Since it was six o clock and a tow truck could come for an hour and a half we decided to pitch our tent on the side of the dirt road. We had a great night with the boys by the campfire and slept soundly in the tent. The next morning we called to have a tow truck come and were informed they will not come on the dirt road. Thankfully, my dad had a truck and towed Jason's Explorer with a rope to the closest street a tow truck would come to. The car was towed to Palm Desert. The boys, my parents and I waited on the side of the road, under our easy up (with no shade and it was 103) for the verdict. Around 5:00 we got the news that the engine had seized and it would be 6000 to replace. Thankfully Jason's Grandparents let him borrow their Explorer to rescue us from the desert and take us home. Now we needed a car. After much haggling and many hours at the car dealer this was the end result. The smile has not left Jason's face all night!
