Oct 7- Oh, no!!!

Well guess what...we were off to see the southern end of Vermont and then move on to New Hampshire when Oh, NO! The alternator light came on because we lost voltage. Gene pulled over immediately on a narrow, windy, two lane road (that's all we've seen in Vermont). He hopped out to see what was up and there was a puddle of antifreeze under the coach with a trail back up the road for about 1/4 mile! We walked back up the road, and at the end of the trail was a "serpentine" belt...which I gather powers the water pump and the alternator. Evidently this isn't a good thing! No telephone service of course (thanks Sprint) so we had to disconnect the jeep and drive back to the previous town. We have something called Coach Care, kind of AAA for motorhomes. They sent us a HUGE towtruck. Kind of exciting in a creepy way to follow your diabled home up the road. They took us back to Burlington, VT--pretty near Ben and Jerry's in case we're stuck awhile. At the moment we're camped at Fleet Pride...waiting for them to open on Monday morning. We're stuck for now, no idea how long. Unfortunately this problem has messed up Sue's visit (she was coming Tuesday) so we've had to postpone her. Sorry about that Sue! We'll get her out to visit after we figure out how to move the rig again!
