Good morning Tomah, WI

We had some additional problems last night around 8:30. As we drove down the Interstate, we heard a loud 'pop' under the hood, followed by a loss of power and additional noises that you never want to hear coming from your engine. 

A quick exit to a gas station showed that we had blown a spark plug up through the coil. 15 min. later we were at Advance Auto to get the replacement plug and coil. Then we backtracked 10 min to a 24-hour repair shop. The next problem was that they were all at the 'Cranberry Harvest' and weren't really open 24-hours - at least not during the cranberry harvest. So, not wanting to give up yet, we tried to install the parts ourselves, but found that the threads in the engine for the plug to screw into were messed-up. After learning that there is another simple part that can be used to remedy this problem, we had to call it a night, because it was 10pm and there were no parts stores still open.

So, the 5 of us got cozy in the truck and slept at the truck stop. Advance Auto opened a few minutes ago, Dan got the part needed and has talked the guy at Advance into helping him install everything, so we'll see how this goes. Maybe we'll be in Underwood by 10pm tonight...
