Think you’re reading a travel blog? Think twice. It’s the Wilma blog, so more stories about her:

Today I was ready to sell her. What am I talking about - selling! I was ready to give her away for free to whoever would be crazy enough to take her. This stubborn lady doesn’t run out of ideas of how to keep the adventure going (rather than herself).  So after a beautiful drive along the Kern River, which is south of Sequoia National Park, we drove up and down the slopes of the Rocky Mountains heading for the Sequoia Trail. Until Wilma started stuttering. Lucky us, this country is full of auto repair shops. And then the good news: It’s only the fuel filter , $ 5.33 !!! Our cheapest repair so far. I immediately felt slightly guilty towards Wilma, abandoning her for a clogged nose!

And did we end up seeing giant trees? Well, the good thing about traveling off season is not only that you have all the otherwise busy places to yourself, you also safe a lot of gas since many trails are closed in winter. So please keep your fingers crossed that Death Valley is going to be open tomorrow!

No matter what, we stick together...
