Emporia, Virginia

Well, here we are at the Best Western. Darryl says I am always commenting on the fact we could use more adventure, so we are having one! We got here last night after a long day of driving with all the windows down because of a horrible smell in the car - either the radiator or the exhaust. (It got so bad at one point Scooter wouldn't get back in the car at a rest stop.) We have also been driving with flashlights strapped onto the back of the camper because the lights aren't working. So we stopped here just after dusk and got settled in our room, and Darryl went to get something out of the fridge in the camper. When he opened the door a container of juice JUMPED out at him and spilled all over the floor and rug. We cleaned up the spill, washed the rug in the bathtub in our room and walked over to a FIVE GUYS burgers for dinner. I have to say, we only have a fast food burger once a year and this one was delicious! And best French fries ever! We then spent the evening deciding what to do about the car.
Fortunately this morning the woman on the front desk had a recommendation for a service center, and Darryl unhitched the camper and drove the car over. He got a ride back here with a guy who comes as close to being straight from "Duck Dynasty" as you can get without actually being on the show. Darryl swung back into full "southern accent" mode without missing a beat, which I found amusing until I caught even him eying the camouflage jackets and pants when we walked over to Wal Mart before lunch.
Right now we are in the room enjoying HBO and waiting for the call about car. Will keep you posted!
