Didn't we just do this last year?

DD19 left this morning for Colorado (from KS), with 3 friends (total of 2 guys, 2 girls). Not sure exactly how far where they were going was from here; over 500 miles. (Last summer, she went on a "senior trip" to CO with 5 friends, mostly different kids. There was a breakdown of our van, some anxious moments, and worries about possible difficult decisions. But, it ended with a happy ending. See details here: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...ad.php?t=49466)

She called today, about 100 miles before they reached Denver. Her car broke down. Is probably the head gasket. Car is not likely worth getting it fixed.

Had a two-day camping trip planned. Found a kind soul who is driving them to Denver. Will try to rent a car there. DD and her two friends are just 18 and 19, but her BF, who is the 4th person on their trip, is 24, so he should be old enough for a car rental place to rent to him. At this point, if things go as currently planned, they are still planning to go through with their camping plans.

Will likely cost them a fortune, and DH will probably have to drive out to CO and tow the car back.

Will update you when I know more.
