I recently got stuck on a goat track up in the hills above Merritt when my alternator packed it in. While bump starting front and back I finally got high centered on seemingly the only large rock in the area. With the last dying light we could see a forest fire in front and behind. The wind was blowing smoke and I wasn't sure how in danger we were. I had BCAA premium package and decided to call myself in as I was at the top of a hill and actually within cell range in a very spotty area. The driver would call when he was in cell range and tried to find me in the middle of the night but the roads were to convuluted and narrow to get to me. I finally tried a last ditch effort and chopped out the rock and bumped it a final time to limp as quickly as I could on the last gasp of the battery to a friendly welcoming Chris who got us into Kamloops for a repair at 5:30 in the morning.
I am very grateful for his patience and understanding for a long overnight ordeal. Thanks Chris! read more
