Canadian Camping in Vancouver

   So we have hit a few bumps in the last weeks worth of road miles. We have broken down twice now in 200 miles and are scheduled for a diagnostics first thing in the morning on Monday, it really seems like one more thing after another. Last night we were going strong when the van out of nowhere on I 5 in Washington just kind of gave out so we played with a few theories and nothing worked, so we called a tow truck which brought us to a Wal-Mart for the night, this morning the van starts!! YEAHHHH! So we cleaned off all the grounds, re-attached the catalytic converter which we thought may have cause the engine failure the other night and took off! We got 10 miles past the border before the engine came to a puttering hault and would not start again so here we are in Vancouver! We did cross the border with no trouble, they took Adams pepper spray but that was anticipated. Considering we crossed with a firearm though it was cake! Now we just have to get past all of our engine problems and begin the final leg of this trip! We have too brave a couple nights in the van with it parked on a main street here in Vancouver so say some prayers for us to get out of this one with a little cheddar left over to get us to Alaska and back home! P.S Jonathan didn't activate his international phone plan correctly and has no service in Canada! Au revoir!

Some Wal-Mart south of the border

Not much of a breakdown lane on this street!
