We did not have an auspiciouse start to our "Big Trip" we managed to get to milepost 19.1 where we threw a spark blug and blew the head gasket. The truck was taken to the local Ford dealer in Hacketstown and we along with the trailer and a rental car were taken to the hacketstown "Park and Ride" to spend the night. The next day the tow truck took us to a local campground. Three days later we continued our journey.

For those that were wondering -its the Calliope of the Julia Belle Swain an old fashioned Mississippi paddle wheel steam boat we saw last year at Winnowna Minnesota and saw again in the La Crosse, Wisconsin harbor.
