Sometimes you go over a speed bump and your exhaust pipe falls off. I mean, that totally happens right?
So we are leaving White Sands just as the park is about to close. We go over one of those abrasive speed bumps that makes you go bambam! and there are two more in sight before the exit to the park. "Hold on everyone, abrasive speed bumps ahead!" I call out. We go over the first one and there is suddenly a huge clank noise and I can feel something dragging and scraping across the ground. Brian jumps out as Star basically jumps into Chelsea's lap, poor pup is terrified! Brian informs us that our exhaust pipe has completely fallen off the van. In the few seconds that it scraped against the ground it managed to bend and pretzel itself into a stuck position. Now we get to jack up the van and try to puzzle the piece out while every single visitor to the park has to exit past us. A super nice guy who is doing a year long road trip with his two kids (way to go cool dad!) helped us free the pipe eventually and we were on our way. Hoping to find an open shop tomorrow!
