So Close, but Yet So Far Away

Christmas break came and went and it was time to head back to Nephi and Orem for college and work. Dallen and I left Monday morning and were traveling in his Ford escort. I suggested that we stop at Wilson Arch to hike to the top and take a picture because I had never done so. We pulled over, hiked to the top, took pictures, and headed back down. When we got to the bottom and tried to start the car we found that it wouldn't start... we had much farther to go to get home.

We tried everything we could do to get the car fixed and after little success, we called my dad for help. We were very lucky that it broke down so close to "home" and that we were able to get one bar of service for the call. My dad was able to come and tow us to Monticello where we were able to stay another night with the family. The car was totaled because the engine was fried so my Grandpa and Grandma Bowring were so kind and gave us a ride back to our houses.

Although it was unfortunate that we lost the car, we were very lucky that we were so close to Monticello to call family and use their help. Thanks for all those that helped!
