(posted Thursday evening Oct 4)
After we left Bozeman early AM Sunday Sept 30
we started hearing ugly metal-on-metal noise from the rear brakes
so we went directly to Diane's in Bellevue, WA (suburb of Seattle).
Turned out to be a frozen caliper, and the repair shop
was chasing parts for three days before they got the right stuff
(not their fault, I've run into this wrong-part problem in VWs before)
but they got it all sorted out. Glad I did go to Seattle
and not try to get it fixed out in the boonies,
hundreds of miles from the parts suppliers.
Forecast in the mountains is mostly snow all week,
and we are meeting Dan's niece Cecile on Friday,
so instead of Mt St Helens we are tonight in
Anacortes, on Puget Sound north of Seattle.
Hope to see San Juan islands tomorrow,
then a few more unplanned days,
then Oct 9 we're on the plane back East.
