We left Niagara Falls, headed for Cleveland, Ohio. We planned to meet up with my brother Tod for dinner and maybe tour the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, about 2 hours outside of Buffalo, the fuel pump on the motorhome quit and spewed diesel fuel all over the Honda and the back of the coach.
After many calls to Cummins Dealers, RV Dealers, and a couple independent mechanics, we finally had the motorhome towed to Jim Craig's Service center near Erie,PA. The fuel pump will be flown in tomorrow and hopefully we will be back on the road Friday. (Sure am glad we spent the extra money on the extended warranty to cover the repairs!!!!)
While we were stranded beside the road for about 24 hours, we had a large number of local folks stop in to see if they could be of help. It was really nice, and the people were very friendly. We learned that we were in the middle of grape country. Nearly 10,000 acres of grapes are grown in this county. A large Welches juice plant is here in North East, PA. Wineries are beginning to sprout up all around as well. Lake Erie is on the horizon from most of the town.

P.S. We also stopped by a fabulous restaurant called Johnny B's!
