March 23, 2007 - It was time to bring Ms. Marpo from Eddio's Harbor to home, Clarksburg. With several days, working on her engines, the day had come and we were taking her home to Clarksburg.
This trip was suppose to take hours, however, we didn't know how many hours that really was going to be!
Here, we are just literally, leaving the docks of Eddio's . . . We then came across a bridge and she actually had to have the bridge open for her! This was getting to be sooo exciting. Our first, of what would be many stops, to check the engines temp (remember, she hadn't run for many years).
This trip, took around 9 - 10 hours, with all the stops that we made. Our last stop was in Walnut Nut Grove, (very close to home), due to a fuel pump that went out! I think we were there for about an hour, checking to see if we could find another replacement part, we didn't, but I do want to say "Thank you" to the Napa Auto Parts Store of all their help!
With only one engine now running, we decided to keep going, we were close to home! And we made it there . . . home that is, Clarksburg. With one engine (mind you the engine that got us home was the weaker of the two) but Ms. Marpro did want to come home and she did!
She's home!
