So close, yet so far...

It started as a beautiful day.  We took an early morning walk by the river and took our time hooking up the RV since we only had three hours of driving to get to Glacier.  And then...
The clutch on the truck felt a little soft yesterday when I first drove it, but everything seemed fine all day.  This morning it felt soft again so as we drove toward Missoula Val checked the internet for a Volvo shop.  Lucky for us it was right in Missoula, so there would be no time wasted.  A quick stop and we hoped the clutch could be checked.  Well, we're now sitting in a very smokey  Missoula waiting for a new clutch and various other parts that go along with that.  Argh!  So close to Glacier, yet so far.  There is a slight chance that the repairs will be done today, but probably not.  The RV will stay at the Volvo shop and we'll stay in a hotel.  We would stay in the RV, but its so hot and we won't have electricity.  Another argh.
By the way, the smoke is from a wildfire right by Missoula, so even the ordinarily beautiful views are gone.  You already know what I'm thinking don't you....
Argh.
