Update #2: As of 7PM, John was just outside of Savannah. Jeep is running OK as long as he keeps his speed at about 65mph. Not sure how much longer he'll drive tonight. Not sure how he's going to fare over the mountains in West Virginia tomorrow.
Update: John called around noon and said guess where I am. He was only in Sebastian. The Jeep had started overheating, so he pulled off, put water in, hobbled over to US1 in search of an autoparts store where he could get a new pressure cap for the coolant overflow. I found a Jeep dealership in Melbourne and called to see if they had the cap. They did, so John drove up to get it. He blames BJ for getting him an inferior cap that cracked. Anyway, as of 1:30PM he was back onto I95. He thinks he only lost about 3 hours. Hmmmm. It seems that the trickiest part of these trips is getting out of Florida!
The story of the bonsai is here.
