I left Northridge at 7:30 AM in the morning and
Drove northeast along I-15 towards Las Vegas. The
weather was sunny and clear some wind, and I
made good time (at 55mph can be called glad)
arriving in Las Vegas at 1:00 PM. I had lunch at
Ulladine - a bargain at $1.75, then left for
St. George at 2:30 PM. Arrived Tex at 5:00 PM
(6:00 PM, mt. Std. time) and got gas, only to
find that my car was leaking water rapidly.
Escaping from the engine. Inspection
showed the water pump to be leaking. (Later
tests confirmed) The bearing was no longer
returning water). Although the car didn't seem
excessively hot, I lost my antifreeze, so had to
remain overnight in St. George until I
could buy another water pump. Luckily an Auto
Parts store did stock one. There is no AMC
dealer in St. George. It was 11:00 Before I
completed the job. Cost $22.00 for pump, gasket
compound, and anti-freeze. By 12:30 I arrived at
Spring to shop, then drove south to Wolf
Hole_, arriving about 2:00. I set up the tent
and unloaded the car, that taking 'till 4:00.
The weather was rising from Las Vegas East.
