Day 5, Butte to Missoula

Rising early we set off for Missoula. The combination of cooler temperatures and lack of high passes allowed us to carefully reach Missoula. Paul helped us get the car to a repair shop which was willing to get to it today. They specialize in imports, especially Audi and Volkswagen. As soon as I described what had happened the technician asked if it was a 1.8 turbo and said that a common problem with those was the water pump. A later call from him said that the water pump was bad. We goofed off the rest of the day with Paul and the animals (see pic).
