George and I keep a special journal of the trip. The Journal is titled 'The Crux of the Day.' In this journal we use one sentence that highlights the most challenging part of the day, our crux. Occasionaly we try to impart this journaling method onto our friends. On our way to trout Creek in Oregon, we traveled with our Colorado friends Lacey and Jason. They drive in a Volkswagon Eurovan. On our travel day to Trout Creek, we had 'Volkswagons' listed as our crux of the day!
Their van broke down, and Jason painstakingly worked on the underside of the van to fix it. After several hours on the side of the road in the seedy outskirts of Portland, and a full coating of greese, Jason fixed the van. We had to stay in Portland that night, but we made it to our destination the next day.

I know absolutely nothing about fixing cars, but I try. Jason has a lot of experience and is a great auto teacher.
After tinkering for the better part of a day, the alternator came out. Apparently there was a nest inside the van's engine. The alternator and Jason were totally fried.
