That sounds quite an adventure, Barb, thanks for sharing your story.
Glad you got there safely eventually.

Great story! Better than my "Clutch went out in the Toyota in a tiny town in Thailand but the shed across the street was a clutch repair shop" story.

Reminds me of graduate school years when I used to have to drive that way at night. Back then it was generator brushes that weren't quite the right size. I learned to push them in against the commutator manually from time to time when the lights went dim.

I've had similar night-time repairs in the Amazon; definitely helps to know the vehicle well and carry spares! Glad it worked out well for you.

Great photos by the way!
