We awoke to another beautiful day with blue skies and comfortable temperature. Our morning drivers meeting at 0800 and we were on our way, leading the pack. Linda's car hadn't been driven since Day 1, so we were hopeful she would make it over the pass. Much of the snow had melted on Tioga Road that had been problematic the previous week before the Pass opened. We arrived in Lee Vining along with Kathy and George, and Linda but no one else arrived soon. Eventually Ken arrived to report that Roger and Linda's Morgan had hit a rock and put a hole in the sump. There wasn't much we could do, so we went to the Mono Lake Visitor's Center, enjoyed the film, then headed up to the Lufta's and enjoyed a ranger presentation about how they were created. (lufta pictures to come). After that, we headed toward Tonopah, with a few other MOAers catching up with us. Linda had some more fuel problems along the way, despite more STP, so Phil and Ken went to work changing the fuel lines, filters, and other assorted things in the motel partking lot. They found a kink in the fuel line and no pressure, whatever that means. Ken also bled his clutch and did some other repairs. Once repairs were over, we all walked down to the Mexican restaurant, where we taught our British friends about Margaritas.
Word from Roger on his oil pan was that they were staying in Yosemite and Monday they would work on getting parts and getting it fixed.
