Not so great timing after all

So the Jimmy has a crack in the radiator. It was spewing antifreeze when we stopped at an overlook yesterday. We took it easy the rest of the trip and it seems to not leak as long as the A/C isnt on (oh great, it was 108 here yesterday). A guy at a radiator shop we found showed me the crack but couldnt fix it that day. So we figured, "this is perfect timing, we'll ease it down to Salt Lake City where we are spending a couple days and get it fixed there." Wrong. Not only is today Steph's birthday, but it is also Pioneer Day - the day Brigham Young first arrived in what is now SLC. Little did we know this is a HUGE deal around here. There is a big parade through town and its all you hear about on the local news. Also, all auto shops seemed to have shut down for the weekend. Naturally, I'm going to try to fix it myself, at least temporarily. The hope is that it'll hold up until we get to Vegas in 5 or 6 days. Heading to Autozone in a little bit... wish us luck!
