As we were headed to the Grand Canyon we heard a new sound from the truck. Upon investigation the exhaust pipe had started to break away from the catalytic converter. Greg used some time, skin off of his knuckles, some clamps, wire and a tomato can cut open to repair it enough for us to carry on. When we got into Utah we visited a number of garages and repair shops until we found one who said they could weld it the next day. We get up, we're there on time, we unhook the trailer, we're ready for the big wait and the big bill. The guy pulls in the truck, welds it, says "That'll last you for awhile- ten buck." Greg gave him twenty. Ten extra for a case of beer- because you can do that with ten bucks here. :) Wow. There are kind, generous people everywhere you least expect it.
