The Shop
The Rover left
Mac’s shop today, although it has another round of brake-bleeding
to go through. We installed the newly re-padded brake shoes, had
the brakes bled, only to have a front brake line burst. Mac had a
replacement made locally at Hydraulic Supply & Service Co,
which we installed, and with the help of Pete, one of his workers,
we re-bled the brakes once again. I feel like I am trapped in a
twisted Roverized version of Groundhog Day, but I am doing my best
to go with the flow. Although, I really feel bad that Mac chose my
Rover to flag down on Hwy 16 on that fateful day.
Happy Winter Solstice!
Whitehorse, YT
When I left Fairbanks it was snowing, but relatively warm. For Alaska in November. The highs were in the 20’s F and the lows were in the single digits. It had cooled down 10 degrees near the border with temps at -22 C according to Canadian customs. It did not warm up to the 20’s during the short day.
I met a couple when I was getting gas at Destruction Bay, YT, who are traveling the world in a newer Land Rover. The guy gave me his card with a website listed about their adventures. I have not checked it out yet, but I will. It just felt good to know there are other wing nuts going even further than I. And it made me not want to stop at Tierra del Fuego.
