Long story short, the dealer where the car was towed does not have a competent transmission man...nor do they have loaner cars. So (and we're still negotiating who is paying for this) the car is being towed today from Okeechobee back to Ron Norris Ford in Titusville. Their Service Manager has been a terrific help in sorting out this situation.
Buddy the hound has had a grand time. He's seen deer multiple times and a flock of turkeys, and any number of crows. Wild pigs have dug up an area behind where we're camping and he is fascinated by the different smells he's experiencing :).
Once we get home and have regular wi-fi (on the road we tether to the phone) I'll post a Google Album link to some photos.
