Trouble on the mountain

Driving along in the mountains and suddenly ‘POP’… we were able to pull straight into a pullout fortunately. 77km before Banff.  

38C (100.4F) temperatures, climbing through the Rocky Mountains was just too much one of the coolant clamps.

A little snafu

A clamp had come loose in the inter-cooler pipe. Blue in bottom right corner.

We called CAA and they sent a truck. Very quickly in reality but seemed forever in that heat. 

I was able to make my Stinging Nettle Tea while we waited for the tow truck since Stacey had brought a camp stove and kettle.

Loaded and headed for Canmore, AB
