Yellowstone On Hold

Well our vacation to Yellowstone just ground to a halt in Cheyenne Wyoming, we hit a piece of tire that was in the road and it has torn our muffler system completely off.   We are at the Mercedes  dealer in Loveland. $7700  we need the whole muffler system and 2 tires, along with cables sensors and wiring, Def tube, catalytic converter, diesel particulate filter. The insurance should cover it. Dealer is hopefully getting the parts overnight, but it's a lot of labor, we are hoping they can get it done  by tomorrow, if not won't be until Tuesday because of the holiday, then we will have missed our Yellowstone reservation. Perhaps we can change it. Bummer.

Lucky Jeff and Belinda are traveling with us in their RV, so we went with them to Rocky Mountain NP for the day, about an hour from the dealer.  We are staying in a hotel beside the Fall River, just had a great dinner in the restaurant. Jeff and Belinda are staying in the parking lot outside our room.
