ANd if there were actually EXIT NUMBERS in this state you tell me which exit that would be but since AREN'T
we just have to keep watching the signs till we find it!
Dang did we just have a major ordeal! We were down to below 1/4 tank according to the gauge and coming up on a Flying J, but because there are no exit numbers we didn't know when or where, only the town and the street name.
Well we found the street but because there are no directional signs posted on the exits to tell you which way what facilities are, as they do in EVERY other state we have come through, we didn't know which way to go. It appeared the Flying J was straight ahead, so we got in that lane at the light [john belusi voice] but NOOOOOOOOO [/john belusi voice] that lane was to get back on the interstate
the Flying J was to the right and of course I was in a Left or Straight lane so we had to make a Left and try to find a place to turn around.
We made another L at the next light which took us through this casino parking lot with a round about turn around. Fine, we made the turn around, got back on the road to get back on the other road, no sooner did we make the right onto the road we turned off of then the LBC DIED! DEAD!
Fortunately there was a merging lane we were in and were able to pull over safely. It seemed like an electrical problem at first, the engine wasn't even turning over.
But it didn't take long for Mark to diagnosis that air had gotten in the fuel line and shut it down. The apparent electric problem was just the battery being drained.
We got it going after about 5 minutes or more of messing around and got to the Flying J to fill up. It seems we still had over a 1/4 of a tank of fuel so it wasn't that low
BUt we sure won't let it go below 1/4 again!
Anyhoo, we had lunch and are on the road AGAIN. The fuel filter helped a bunch on the climbing. It didn't seem there were any major mountain passes, and I was able to keep it above 50 mph on the worst of them.
We probably won't be in Fresno before 7 at this rate but we're pushing ahead.
OK, I just saw an exit number. Maybe I can find out what exit 30 is.
