Bernie and Linda's Blog: Home in Fernie

We arrived home in Fernie on Thursday, April 7th. The flights were uneventful.. San Jose to Seattle and Seattle to Kalispell. We departed SJC at 5 pm and on the 6th arrived in Kalispell just after midnight. Unfortunately I had left our iPod transmitter plugged into the cigarette lighter outlet and it had drained the battery enough that the starter would not turn the engine over.

We were told by the security staff that the car rental booths had battery booster units but they were closed for the night. We had planned to stay in Kalispell over night anyway so we hopped a cab to the hotel. I returned in the morning, borrowed a booster and started the car. On the way out of the parking lot I mentioned what had happened to the clerk and she informed me that they also had battery booster units that I could have borrowed. Next Time!
