Stuck in Jackson Hole, Wyoming

We are in Jackson Hole, Wyoming at a KOA camp on the Snake River. We are stranded here until we can find a transmission mechanic. Our transmission on our 1990 Toyota motorhome died today.
This death of our transmission followed an incredible miracle this morning. We had been having trouble with the engine cutting out on us and had to find a mechanic in Rock Springs, Wyoming this morning. We figured we could not find anyone. Then we found a parts store (Auto Zone) and a girl named Michelle who was just getting off work took us to a Mexican mechanic who had a Guatemalan guy working for him...who just happened to be very experienced with our engine. I think if the tranny problem had been evident to the mechanic this morning it would have been fixed too. The convergence of finding a girl who knew someone who could fix our problem on a Saturday was, frankly, miraculous. I had been praying we'd find someone and it would be the right person, and it was.
Now if we can get home again.
