Stranded in Utah With No Money: A Trip Report

[leehrat]

That's the second time you've said "whatnot" in this thread. I find that funny.

I was with a friend driving back from CA when we stopped for gas in Fallon, NV. It was about midnight on a Friday. The Bronco we were in wouldn't start again, and we had to push it to a parking space and wait for the next morning. The next day being a Saturday, there were only a couple places open, and the mechanic at the oil change place we took it to first said that it needed to go up on a lift to be fixed. Welcome to a weekend in sunny Fallon!

After staying in a fleabag motel for a couple days and getting stared at by townies - a rare situation where the whole room legitimately went silent, like in the movies - the car was fixed on Monday and we drove East. Just outside of town, we saw a mile marker. "Elko, NV - 300 miles." Thank god we broke down just before the desert instead of sometime in the middle.

I haven't heard back from the repair shop yet, but I have good news. NETELLER allowing withdrawls now gave me an extra 400 bucks, please let it be more than enough. Updates soon, I hope.

Don't rain on my parade, NETELLER means it this time. They're going to hook me up and its really only going to take up to 3 business days, you'll see!

I like this post. No panic, no tears or requests for help.

Good luck on your journey, at worst, you'll have a good story to tell.
