I'm Back in the States, Arizona to be Exact

Last monday, March 4th, I lead two other RVers from the beach in San Carlos, Mexico back to Arizona.

It was a fairly uneventful trip except for the fact that when my engine was at operating temperature and we'd stop for something my engine wouldn't start again for several minutes.  One of the men in our little group said he thought it might be my fuel pump.  TheSo for the rest of the way to Arizona I was worried that the pump might quite working at any minute.  But luck was with me and I made it all the way to Tucson, where I called a friend of mine and he referred me to a repair shop, and they could get me in the very next day.  So early Wednesday, with fingers crossed, I drove the 10 miles to the shop.  Within a few hours I had a new fuel pump and filter.  They said that my filter was very dirty, dribbling black yucky gas on their work table.

New pump.

The reason I came back to the states when I did was because there are several of my friends here in Tucson.  So I have been busy socializing.

 for BBQ ribs, yummy.

I'll stay in the Tucson area for another week then head over to Yuma.  

The miles are adding up, and I'm having so much fun.
