Charlie, I'm sure it's little consolation but I missed my spring turkey trip last year as well due to vehicle problems. I was on my way to pick up my partner for the 4 hr trip north when the alternator in my Super Duty died. A simple fix but apparently alternators for Ford diesels were in short supply here. My buddy's Jeep was already in the garage and I had to wait 4 days for an alternator to come in
.
Cheers
Marcus
