Beast Breakdown Fundraiser
The Beast, at 7,000 feet (Hart’s Pass, Northern Cascades)
Leaving Port Townsend this morning, we stopped to do the laundry. Getting back into the truck, I noticed a significant leak from below the Beast. Smelled like antifreeze.
Got a referral by a resident to a good local auto repair shop – Gary’s Auto Repair – and discovered that my water pump failed.
Replacing the water pump, hoses, thermostat, and clamps cost over $500! Ouch!
The Beast has served me well – over 10,000 miles through some harsh conditions and over sketchy roads.
My funds are being depleted a lot quicker than I had hoped, and this is a big unexpected hit on the financial picture.
SO – we are having a Beast Repair Fundraiser!
Anyone wishing to support this continuing adventure can make a non-tax deductable contribution to [deleted PayPal because they block funding]
Or, shoot me an email and we can arrange something different: bill_wolfe@comcast.net
We thank you! And we’ll keep you posted.
