update on Travis and Crystal
« on: June 15, 2015, 01:43:34 PM »
Some of you know and some probably are not aware that Travis and Crystal broke down on their way home Saturday. Got an update an hour ago so I thought I would share.

From Crystal
Fwd: Truck got hauled to next creston, where they are currently working on it, will hopefully hav it done by 3 or 4 2day. Still not sure how we r gonna get to next town to get truck tho. Wrecker service hauled truck but didnt pick us up. Dealer service working on truck is going to try to work something out to get us there or truck here.

Smaller towns, I'm sure they'll figure a way to get them & their truck reunited...

I hope this doesn't dampen their desire to come out boating with the group.  I know how devastating an expensive repair can be to finances.  We need a decent lake out near you folks to have a NE meet.  Maybe Sherman, calamus, or Mo river.
