What was that John Cusak movie called?

You know, the movie where he was in some sketchy motel room, that had odd secret hidden doors , a weird downstairs\a room in the "basement".

Why do I ask this question? Because, a mere 35k - literally the turn off from the highway to sleeping giant - our breaks failed - we were going down hill.

I called CAA - only to learn that the gas station we managed to get to, happened to be where they would tow us. Okay, good to know - so they give me his "24 hour number" (the same number on the giant sign that says Garage)
We heard the phone ring inside from where we were standing. Funny - not funny ha ha at that very moment in time though!!!

After much discussion of sleeping in the jeep - I said we'll just stay at this sketchy motel instead.

No clock.
No phone.

We locked the windows, the doors - if it could be locked we did.

Then we played yatzee for most of the night, and slept in a bed - well... It was no fairmont bed! I can assure you that!

The jeep is getting fixed by Jimmy 'the mechanic' for Pass Lake. Once its all done, we'll resume to our last camp and then home on thursday if all goes well.

We're thankful that if anything 'bad' (this really isn't That bad, all things considered) was going to happen, at least it was here in ontario!!!

Do my best to keep you posted when we're off to Mississagi Park!
