Anybody mention towing insurance (and a record of it in the glove box) and a
credit card with at least a $5K ceiling on it?

Very good advice.  Without shelter in a dirt parking
lot, there is a very good chance that you will be
loosing tools, and fumbling around in a rain
storm trying to install a head gasket.  Under
poor conditions like this there is a good chance
you would be doing the job over in a very
shortly time.   My thoughts are ether get it to
a good shop in the area, or rent a U-haul and
tow her home.
