Display MoreHuge bright spot on our trip....
Woke up and the web site said the Grand Canyon was open. We decide to go that route up to Utah. I gas up about 65 miles before the park at the last gas stop. Cowboy come up and starts asking questions and we have a good talk. We take off and get to the park. Ranger says the park is closed now - sorry..%$#&*%!! As we turn around a person in an RV flags us down. Says that “something” flew off “whatever that thing is” back at the round-a-bout and flew into the bushes. I get out - gas cap is gone! Was too busy talking at the pump and forgot to put it back on.
So we go to the round-a- bout and start looking. Out of nowhere 2-3 then a couple more then a car pulls over…. “What cha lookin’ for?” I explain the gas cap and I have about 6 people helping to look for the cap! THEN the man from the RV pulls over and says “Not this round a bout the previous one”. So we pack it in - thank everyone for their help and move on to the “other one” about a half mile back. One guy that pulled over in a car says he will follow us over and continue to help. We get to the spot and after about 10 min I find the gas cap!
So what we have here is a huge bright spot in humanity and perhaps intervention by a few “angles”! My gas cap rides on the back of the SS 65 miles, fly’s off into the bushes, a stranger tells me about it, and the great people of AZ take time to help out AND we FIND the cap in the bushes. You tell me if this is not AMAZING! I am liking AZ more and more all the time!
Great story - I love it when people do things like this - shows there just might be hope for us all yet
As a side note - on the advice of another member here I got one of these a month or so back just to keep in the glove box
Dang thing fits perfectly
I only forgot my cap one time and fortunately it just sat on the back without falling off, but it was close enough that I figured it was worth the $8 to have a backup - I figure if I do lose the stock cap this will keep things covered and safe until I can get a replacement
