We are towed to Fresno

There being no repair facilities nearby, the tow truck driver offered to tow us all the way to Fresno (about 60 miles) to a AAA approved auto mechanic. Although we have only the basi membership (which covers only five miles of towing) there is a special program frolm AAA to cover situations where a breakdown occurs on a highway where there is no repair facility nothing within those five miles.

So he hooked up and towed us, the truck and the trailer all the way from Firebaugh to Fresno, directly thorugh the heart of the San Juaquin valley. The fellow was nice and we all enjoyed the drive. He pointed out the different crops as we passed through them - pomegranet, cabbage, cotton, broccoli and grapes and a cool (stocked) fishing hole right in the middle of all of that famland where folks catach fish as large as 34' catfish.

We dropped the truck at the repair shop in Fresno, got a hotel and waited to hear the prognosis the following day.
