At 11 Am  y son finds me. And five minutes later my friend Alex from Idaho and grandson showed up.
Ahhhhhh

We work out a plan to get the truck down to payment where AAA will hook up to it.

We all drive up to John we hook on to my truck with Alex’s Tundra and start out my son in his Doge following. We hit the payment and decide to go into chewelah with it. We cal, triple A and arrange for it to be towed back to Mount Vernon to my regular repair shop.

John, and I jump in with Alex and head up to break down camp , because my son has to be back for work next day.
My son waits for AAA with my truck.

This my grandsons firs turkey hunt. And. He really enjoyed it he said.

While John and I spent the night in the truck.
He being a teenager slept through the whole thing. He woke up at 7 am to my friend Alex asking where we were. Isaiah didn’t even know we were missing. Alex picked him up and they started the thee hour search for us. While doing that my grandson was excited to sot a bear , turkys, deer and moose so he counted as a success . Plus Alex bought hi breakfast.

Well Grandson bought his own breakfast.  A diet pepsi and a medium bag of salt and vinegar chips.  It was a relief to finally find Ghosthunter.  He kept a great attitude even with everything that went sideways for him on this trip.  Still a great friend and hunting partner.  Glad to be of some help.  Though it is nice to live in Idaho I do miss some friends.

The trailer tongue jack got bent when we found ourself at the end of a gated road. No room to turn around. Un hitched Pelli trailer around with a chain.

Truck is in shop. They are still scratching their heads.

Any idea what went screwy with the rig?  I don't trust newer rigs for this reason but am guilty of owning them.

Nope

It’s a 2012 Nissan Frontier.
Ben well cared for.
Regular maintenance at same shop since I bought it new in 2013.
96k on it.

Talked to shop this am before they looked at it. Filled them in.
They couldn’t believe it happen since they have seen it every 4K since I bought it.
I have a standing authorization to fix anything under 500.00 that they see it needs.
I don’t like these kind of adventures.

Still waiting to hear.

Alex! Hello!

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Crazy! Glad you’re ok.

 I had an older Honda Accord that would just cut out power randomly. 70 mph on the freeway and nothing. Lent it to a friend, with all the info, 3 months later he and his dad found that the ignition wiring harness had a short in it. Replaced and never an issue. Maybe it might help narrow the search for you on parts

Yeah I am not a car guy. If it needs fixed I take it in. I did my share of car repairs when I was younger. Now I got a good shop I trust.

Good to hear it all worked out!  :tup: Vehicle issues suck especially when we have such limited time for our outdoor excursions.  Boy have we had our share over the years but always managed something and kept positive attitude such as you guys did! :IBCOOL:
