Stranded

Well, the title of this post should say it all. Chad and I are stranded out in the middle of nowhere right now. Actually, we're in a little town outside of Vernal, Utah (Roosevelt) waiting to see if our truck can be fixed. To pass the time we came to the local library which has a couple of computers with access to the internet. I suppose I should start this story at the beginning.
Chad and I decided to take a week off of work, for the Labor Day weekend, and head out to his grandparents cabin to go four-wheeling. We came out on Friday night and planned on being out here for 5-6 days spending most of our time riding up in the mountains. We've had such a great time. It has been so nice to have a few days with absolutely no responsibility. We've slept in, stayed up late, been gone all day riding, and have been pretty lazy. I would have taken tons of pictures, but of course the batteries choose to die out on us.
Well, Tuesday night as we were pulling back into the cabin our truck (our brand new truck) had a warning light go off. It told us that our oil pressure was low and that we needed to stop the truck and turn off the engine immediately. (Blessing #1:) The great thing is that we had just pulled into the cabin and weren't up in the mountains when this happened. So we stopped. Chad checked the oil level and looked to see if we were leaking anything. Everything seemed fine. At this point we weren't quite sure if it was something serious so we figured we would wait until the morning to deal with it.
The next morning Chad turned it on and noticed that the oil pressure indicator was on zero. If you have no oil pressure and continue to drive your vehicle your engine could catch fire. Not a good thing. Especially, since Chad and I don't have cell phones. (Blessing #2:) Luckily, our truck has a free one year subscription to Onstar. So we were able to call the dealership and ask them what they recommend. They told us to have Onstar call a towing company and tow our truck to the nearest dealership. After a 4 hour wait the tow truck arrived and loaded up our truck and hauled it to Roosevelt for us.
At this point Chad and I were stuck in Fruitland, a good 60 miles from Roosevelt, with nothing but a four-wheeler and dirt bike. We spent the rest of the day watching movies and contemplating our options. (Blessing #3:) Good thing Chad doesn't have to be back to work until next week, and I have an understanding employer. Thanks Kevin!
So, we now find ourselves in Roosevelt after an uncomfortable ride on the motorcycle, waiting for the diagnostics to be done on the truck. Once they figure out what is wrong, we can figure out how long we'll be stranded in the deserts of Utah. Worse case scenario.....truck isn't ready today and we get a rental car (which we can only get in Vernal, another 30 miles away), head back to the cabin and wait until Saturday, then if we still don't have a truck we head home and return when it's fixed. (Blessing #4:) At least the truck is still under warranty! Everything from the towing, repairs, and possible rental car should be covered.
Needless to say it's been quite the adventure and at this point we are ready to be home.
