Roadtrek Fuel Pump Replaced St. George
July 10, 2007
We got up shortly before Wayne arrived to open the garage door and start business for the day. We rolled out of bed; we had been sleeping on a bit of a hill, had a cup of coffee and he finished up a few jobs then it was our turn. They snowplowed us into the garage with a tire between the snowplow and us. We had to take everything from the front console for them to get into that compartment to test the pressure of the fuel pump. It was about 15 and was suppose to be about 65 so we definitely needed a new one. They got the old one out to check the number on it; Chevy makes three different ones for its vehicles. We left the Roadtrek in good hands and walked to town.
We strolled through the little mall and walked down to the fish ladder constructed in 1950 in the gorge. The signs around town say Gorgeous St. George….get it gorge-ous. We sampled blueberry jelly in a little farm shop, and found a bar where we met two interesting guys-one who talked of trips to Hong Kong and Thiland to teach English and another with a long bushy beard who traveled to New Foundland in the 70’s. We drank a few beers and enjoyed a burger, wings and jalapeno slammers, known in the south as poppers. We walked back across town to the garage stopping to have a look about in some shops and for an ice cream.
New fuel pump, fuel filter, distributor cap and what not and out $800+. Shepard time…time to get the flock out of here. We stopped in Pennfield to say thanks to the Irving Gas station guy, Peter Casey.
We boarded the Deer Island Ferry, MV John Rigby, at about 5pm, crossed the little island and took the ferry over to Campobello. We drove to Head Light. The tide was coming in so we couldn’t walk to the lighthouse, but got a few good pictures. 
We saw a harbor seal sunning on a rock. As the tide came in he slid into the water. We crossed south on the island and at 8:30 drove into Lubec Maine, USA. They checked our passports and asked us a few questions, peeked inside the Roadtrek and off we drove. The fog gives the sun a neat glow. We can hear the foghorns. We filled up on gas at $3.059.
We drove out to West Quaddy Head Lighthouse at the State Park. It is a very stunning lighthouse painted with red and white stripes. We stopped and watched our movie, Pearl Harbor. Ranger John Smith stopped by and was very friendly. He said he would lock us in if we liked. We would not be able to leave until after 7am. Great! We could listen to the fog horn all night.
