The news on the car wasn't good. We thought the belt had just come off, but the rep at the auto repair shop knew better - many times something else causes the belt to come off. Well our water pump went out, due to some worn bearings. Apparently this make and model has problems with the water pump because the mechanic predicted right away what the problem was. I had just had the vehicle in for complete service and checkup before we headed out on our trip. The good news was - they had a pump in stock, he volunteered to stay after hours to get it fixed and by 8:00 p.m. we were back on the road.
When we first pulled off the road we didn't know where we were - we were in Clarksville, Tennessee. If you ever have to get stuck with car problems - Clarksville is the place to be. We met the nicest people who went out of their way to get us back on the road. And I learn something new everyday - Clarksville is a military town, home to one of the largest army bases.
Thanks to everyone in Clarksville who helped us out - the Speed Lube or Jiffy Lube Technician, our tow truck drive, and the crew at Firestone.
More later from on the-road.
