Thanks for the suggestion. That was one of the first things I checked knowing that there was an aftermarket stereo and alarm installed. Everything in the battery box is clean and tight.

Kind of like sampling the delights of Baker, Ca.

Let's hope he sails through there with no more issues.

Glad you made it without further trouble!

Did you get to see much of Death Valley, or was it already getting dark when you crossed through? I hope you had an interesting drive.

That room number is the second trick the 928 gods play on you during that trip. Hope further ones will ge equally funny.
