So, am on the last camping trip of the year and Fanny has had her problems! Put a brand new starter in the RV 4 days before leaving Edmonton ($1200). 4 days later, my new starter failed and I was stranded on a high mountain road, with no cellphone coverage. Spent 23 hours stranded, had to do a 15km walk to cellphone coverage to ask for help.
The motor home "Fanny" and the darkroom trailer Freddy" had to be towed 85km back to Calgary, for a new starter ($850) to be installed. The tows would have cost $1500. but I have an AMA membership, so there was no cost. Plus the cost of 2 nights in a hotel in Calgary.
3 days later, I was in Longview, Alberta, it snowed overnight and the furnace in Fanny did not work! I was forced to use the stove burners to add some heat, It was freezing, around -2c outside
So it has been tough, no Ambrotypes made so far!
