Following the Sun

[SHANEA]

Uhoh, I thought, and headed instead to the nearby gas station at Panther Junction, hoping against hope that they might have a mechanic on duty. Of course they didn't. What to do? I'm 60 miles or so from the nearest mechanic. Well, maybe I just got some bad gas, so I filled up with premium (which I never treat the Jeep to), and bought one of those STP gas treatments, hoping that might do the trick. I get back in, turn the key, and the engine just won't catch. Aaarghh!!! There I am, with a dead Jeep, 20 miles or so from my tent, on a Sunday, with no cell phone service.
