Nov. 9 – WA, Tenino

Day 100 – Henry thought that to make the hundredth day of our trip more significant than just a number, he would like to have his starter replaced. But no worries, there was no tow trucks involved this time! We were at Tom’s house, Jason’s dad, and they had just finished replacing all the break pads the previous day – so we can stop very well now if we could get it running. We push started Henry and drove him up to a shop that offered free installation with a purchase of a starter. All is well now. I believe we have almost fixed or replaced all the minor things that a vw van would need…. or I hope we have 😉

I am sure there will be more and if you want to keep track with us you should check out our website (www.happilyhomeless.com) and click on the van menu for the stats of breakdowns, tows, and repairs – I think we are also adding on tickets and any other non-interesting stats there could be with this trip.
