My thanks to Bob Hartunian for assisting on this very enjoyable trip.
We had a heartwarming experience with the people of Tecopa. One of our cars needed a new battery, the old one could not be used. Tecopa does not have a parts store. The local mechanic found a neighbor who had an old but usable battery asking for payment only what we thought to be fair. In the meantime while most of us were standing around the car contemplating the problem one local lady went up to Anna and offered her some money so we could buy some food. Our appearance must have really impressed her, even though we had just eaten. It is nice to know that very caring people live in the communities that we chance to visit while going for our peaks.
