Local Blogs: Oh Lord, Stuck In LaGrande

“As the temperatures head for the 90s for the first time this year, I’m eager to join the throngs for lazy summer floats down the North Fork of the Coeur d’Alene River,’ posts Kerri Thoreson/OnLocation North Idaho. “But alas, late spring floods might delay prudent floating for a few weeks. I have “people” scouting the river conditions and will keep you posted for when we can safely enjoy my favorite North Idaho pastime.”

Stuck In LaGrande: I stopped for gas in La Grande. After my fill up, my 1993 Honda Civic with 178,000 miles stuttered as I left the Shell station. I drove down Adams Street and the car felt better, but my car fear was in high gear. I returned to I-84 and suddenly my temperature gauge leaped to the red zone. I started having morningmares of steam and smoke billowing from under the hood. I exited right away at the Flying J Travel Plaza. I inquired about help at the Flying J, drove to a Les Schwab shop in La Grande, and a trotting tire man sent me to All Foreign Auto. “Yeah, we can look at but it’ll be a bit before we can get to it”/ Raymond Pert , Kellogg Bloggin’.
