Subject: A new hope...

Ok, it's very late, and I've Been driving for 14 hours, so this one is
guna be short.
As many of u have probably heard, our computor, which regulates things
such as fuel injection, fried. Last night we slept soundly at a
holiday in not to far from our breakdown in Staunton VA. This morning
we towed the van to a shop, and a nice fellow named patric saved our
trip by selling us a used computor for $330 (and a free key chain).
So, with the van fixed, we decided to ditch new Orleans, and book it
west.
Travel was smooth aside from parts of the appalacian mts. Which took
their toll on velma, asking her to constantly dowshift into 3rd gear,
and once even second.
After we got throught the mts. It was truley smooth sailing all the
way to a park somewhere in Indiana.  We plan to stop in st. Louis for
a good deal of time to see Taiki's relatives, so it made sense to
sleep and finish our three hour drive that morning.
We pulls over, and stayed at leyville park, which is basically a camp
site except u don't have to pay. Well atleast I don't think so...we
got there at 2am and left at six...
So we got to camp and explored till like 3am and then crashed.
Everyone fits in the van, no tent necessary!
Anyway, sorry this was a bad report, I'll try and make it better
tomorrow, or hopefully tonight.
Later kids!
