Day 19 - Pasadena, CA

About 4:00 I got the call to come get my truck!  There had been a short in the power supply to the fuel pump.  So they replaced sections of wire and replaced the relay and it was good to go!   We met so many cool people.  I feel privileged  to have been given a glimpse of the Southern California car culture that defined the early hot rod era.  The entire square block where these two businesses were located were full of custom shops of all sorts.  Both American and foreign steel.  If you are going to break down on a road trip, this is the place to do it! And what amazing shops we found our way to!  Every customer that we chatted with had nothing but good things to say about the honesty, skill level and expertise of the shop John looking in wonder at the work being done by Sarkis Lester, office manager, Sarkis, Owner, John retired! Walt Conn, owner of Car Cave that referred us to A & A Tire and Auto Repair.

I logged in about 450 miles in approx. 9 hours, so my stamina was back to where it was at the start of the trip!  Every mile in this case, getting me closer to home!   The truck ran great and the miles rolled by.
