Hi all... long time no see! I'm taking a few minutes out from preparing the next issue of the Memo to ask if anyone can help out with a family crisis.
My daughter's partner and two of his buddies have been climbing in Utah, and on their trip home they got as far as Richland WA and their (borrowed) van heaved a hairball. They'd already had the fuel pump replaced on the way down... apparently that wasn't the (only) problem.
They are pretty resourceful guys (all ex-Canadian Forces, I think) but none of them is a mechanic... and they're getting pretty stressed, because they need to get home and get back to work while they've still got jobs.
So... I'm wondering if there's anyone here who lives in that area who might be able to give them a hand? What they need right now is someone who can tell them what the problem is with the van... and ideally fix it, depending on how complicated it is... or next steps to be planned thereafter.
If you can help, please email me at d.r.baxter@shaw.ca or call - 604-882-8078 (home) or 604-789-1795 (cell) or 604-599-3081 (work). I'm really anxious to help them get home... not just because of their jobs, but also because my daughter had surgery not long ago and really needs Grant at home.
Thank you so much!!
