Made it to Chesterton, Indiana, then...

Hi All,
Thanks for your interest in our journey.

A Rainbow is not always a good thing.

The rainbow was first seen in Henrietta, and then at Cedar Point in Ohio, and then a at Indiana Dunes National Seashore.

The rainbow was on the ground in front of the bus.  It was a small leak of transmission fluid.

Upon arriving a our campsite, the leak became a steady drip.  After a good nights rest and a trip to the beautiful shore of Lake Michigan, we headed to K-Mart to buy transmission fluid.

In the parking lot of K-Mart, the red liquid was pouring out faster than a drip per second.  Time to seek professional help.

A-C walked to Auto Zone and Mindi directed her to Jiffy Lube a stone's throw away.  Josh, the assistant manager and ASE certified technician diagnosed the problem right away - rust had taken its toll on the cooling lines and cooler in the very front of the bus.  With the bus running, the leaks were obvious.

Josh ordered parts, but that gives us about 23 hours to spend in Chesterton - a very nice community about an hour from Chicago.  Everyone here has been really helpful and friendly.

We got a root beer float fir the kids, then walked to a park on the historic downtown.  Lee got a haircut from Byron's Barber Shop.  Bryon and his partner John were extremely welcoming and sympathetic to our situation. They were very helpful with our next situation...

Elliott goes missing!  (to be continued)
