We decided it was time to stop for a restroom break near
Canada's sign post forest! What a perfect place to walk around, and stretch our
legs. The sign post forest is amazing. People have brought city signs, family
signs, license plates, and street signs to display. It was so fun to hunt
around and find the places we had been. It was common that we found family
signs made for "NORTH TO ALASKA" family adventures. It was so much
fun running around and finding names we know, and places we recognized. The
sign post forest is huge. We easily killed 45 minutes just walking around and
enjoying what others from around the world have set-up.
After returning to the truck, we both agreed that it was a
little too public to be fueling, so we decided to drive down the road a ways
and find a more secluded area to fuel. We made it about 10 miles out of town
before finding a sufficient pull off. This time though, the trucks low-fuel
light and signal was going off. So we knew we were cutting it close. Brad got
out of the truck, and walks around to fuel and realizes there is a major
problem. On the handle on the filler gun was broken. So here Brad was - outside
- running around trying to figure out how to fix it with the limited tools he
had in the trailer tool box. I was so nervous, and starting to get very upset
that he wasn't communicating the issue at hand. For all I knew we were stranded
in Canada - and didn’t even pull off at a place that had cell reception anyway
- and couldn't fuel - pulling our Trailer. Oh joy. Brad then called to me, and
the two of us working together were able to get the handle back on with ease.
Had he asked for my help sooner, I would not have sat in the truck,
worried sick, listening to the beep go off saying we were out of fuel!
This would not the first issues we have with our tank this trip, so stay tuned
for the next fuel tank adventures.
