We buy another vehicle - An end in sight to our Transportation Travails

Having been in the surplus equipment business in the past, I was able to source a 1992 Ford Explorer in great running condition that had been impounded and in the process of being lien saled.

The cost, $900.

We spent the day transferring buses in the 90 degree heat as we made our way to the tow yard across town. Mackenzie had a small breakdown at one point due to the heat, but we powered on and finally found the place.

The only hitch would be that we will have to stay the weekend in Fresno as the lien sale will not be complete until Monday, April the 9th. We all need some time to decompress, so I gave the guy a $200 deposit and we headed home to the hotel room.

So, unless the owner of the car somehow pays the tow charges and gets the car out of impound before Monday at 9:00am, we are in the clear as to having a vehicle that will get us and our trasiler to Florida.
