DOWN IN THE DESERT


 

19 February 2021:  Had the “check engine” light in the jeep come on.  Took it down to the local NAPA place in Overton which also has a couple of mechanics who turned it off.  The computer said it was a slow leak in the EVAP system.  Most common thing for that is the gas cap was not on tight!  But the light will not go out until a mechanic hooks up his computer to the jeep’s computer and turns it off.  And of course, charges you the going rate for tourists per hour!  After that we filled the propane bottle and got fuel then drove down to Echo Bay and spent the night in the campground there.  Got up and filled with water and dumped the holding tanks.  Then drove to Quartzsite and are camped out in the BLM near Kofa National Wildlife Refuge.  Have camped here for years.  Will spend some time here before moving on.

All the stickers really get his hair all fouled up.
