Day 70
September 16, 2008
Jantzen RV Park
Portland, OR

Today was a day we used to just catch up on stuff and Carolee did some sewing. Merrell and Chuck went to a CAT dealership and talked to them about the fuel pump on our RV. It's been leaking a little bit off and on ever since we started on our trip. Nothing major and it starts and stops leaking which I find strange. If you're gonna leak, you should leak all of the time............... :>)
Anyway, to make a long story short, they can't get a new fuel pump for this model RV (1991 Elite). They didn't know if they could get a rebuild kit or not. Anyway, since it's not a bad leak, we decided to go on down the road. It's been doing it for 8,000 miles with no problems, so we should be able to make it home with no problem. At least, that's my philosophy!!! Merrell said he may talk to another CAT dealer in the Powell Butte area where we are going to visit my friend Mary and her husband.

After they came back from the CAT dealer, we (meaning Carolee and I) decided we HAD to go find a dress barn and do some end of season shopping. Of course, Merrell and Chuck were THRILLED about it and couldn't wait to get in the car to take us there. :>) Anyway, we shopped for awhile and found some good buys in dress barn and then we went to Ross and found some more good buys!! Merrell said if we buy anything else, he's gonna have to rent a U-Haul to tow instead of the car. :>) We promised to be good from here on out. We'll see how that goes...............................

We're heading out to Powell Butte tomorrow. Can't wait to visit with Mary.

Catch ya later,
Love, US
