After two great weeks of fishing on the San Juan River at Navajo Dam we have internet again. We are at the San Juan County Fair grounds because as we were leaving town we developed generator problems again. A last week we had a new carburetor put on the generator. This week I was running the generator so we could have some air conditioning, when I turn the A/C off the generator quit running. We went back to Cummins where the new carburetor was installed and asked them to look at the generator again. Their generator person is in Durango, CO until the end of next week. The service guy gave me the name and number of two other local guys who are good at generators. Neither one of these people called me back. One I left a message the other one had a really nice lady who said they would call me but they didn’t.
At 5 o’clock we decided to give up on getting help and spend the night here at the fair grounds and move on to Gooseneck State Park, Utah tomorrow. We may be able to live without a generator for a while. The biggest challenge will be the week and a half at the Balloon Fiesta. We are there from October 2 – 14. Weather will drive how this works out. With sunny weather the solar panel and watching our electricity usage we may be able to make it through. If not we may have to buy a portable generator. We will see what happens.
I will be going back and updating the blog for our time at Cottonwood Campground, Navajo Dam, New Mexico September 11 – 26.
