Part 1Ab..........

Well, any service station that could help was, of course, closed  
after 5:00 on Saturday and wouldn't be open 'til Monday.  If AAA had  
gotten us help when I first called, we would have made it, but by  
this time there was no chance of finding anyone open.  We got the  
idea to try Sears at the mall in Stroudsburg, PA.  I figured, even if  
the Auto Center was closed, I could buy a few items that would allow  
me to fix the wires myself, and get us on our way.  Oh, by the way,  
did I mention that it was raining most of the way to this point?  And  
the top leaks..... really bad.  The speedo doesn't work either, but  
that was the least of our problems.

Anyway, the auto center at Sears had just closed, but the nice man  
opened a bay for us, so I could work inside, and he let me use their  
wire cutters and strippers.  He didn't have any electrical connectors  
that would work, but I went in the store and bought some electrical  
tape and a flashlight.  I got us wired up and taped together, and got  
her running again.  By that time it was dark out, and still raining,  
so we decided to stay at the Howard Johnson's and attempt the drive  
in the morning.  I was looking forward to a good night's sleep.  I  
didn't get it.  If you ever consider staying at the Howard Johnson's  
in Stroudsburg, PA, when it's raining, ask them if they've fixed the  
roof yet.  We listened to the roof leak dripping on the carpet all  
night (well, at least, one of us did - the other slept soundly).

Continued on Part 1B.........  (sorry, this is SO confusing -- I'm  
giving up after this)
