Driving to Wenatchee

Driving to Wenatchee tomorrow for a wedding this weekend (Gotta love a wife that will agree to ride 6 hrs. each way!). Assuming Murphy's Law is in effect in Washington too, I'd like to be prepared. If I know of where to get some emergency rotary help in Central Washington then I won't be needing it! (Right?) The seven's running fine, but it is a looong drive. Anyone know of rotary help in that area? Thanks.

Just bring a good set of tools. Anything you can't fix with that isn't going to be a quick fix anyway. Also, the only thing you would really need a rotary specific shop for is if you blow your motor. But hey its a gsl-se, they run forever.

I don't think there are any rotary shops around Wenatchee.

Drove to Wenatchee. 26 mpg. No problems. Screamin' over the passes. Now here's the bad. Coming out of Toppenish, 55 mph zone, got going up to 75 for about 1/10th of a mile, noticed I was going too fast, slowed right down to traffic, got pulled over, aerial surveillance plane, god d*$!, son of a b%#(*, mother f#*$!@&, I was pissed. He knocked it down to 70 in a 55 but still $144. First ticket in 12 years. Big brother was watching. No signs saying, "Speed Patrolled by Aircraft." More government, less freedom. Less government, more happy.
