For the city folks..........
I was just wondering how long did everyone wait in line for gas and did you really need it now? How much did you pay?
Me?...30 min. $2.15 :x , and I could have waited a couple of days, But just like everyone else in the lines,I didn't want to take the chance. :?

Lucky up here in Prescott Valley, just gas prices going up. $1.89 a gallon. Two long drives this week, Tuesday evening took my son down to Yuma and yesterday went back down and picked him up. A couple of comments:
*My gosh! :o It is hot in Yuma!
*I minimized my beans input.
*I pulled my bike out, dusted it off, and was ready to ride it to work.

Yea yesterday I went on the Cliff Castle Casino poker run benefitting the Boys and Girls clubs......gas in Camp Verde was 2 bucks a gallon and what did they give us to eat after the 200 mile run was over?....Hotdogs, Hamburgers....and some beans...........it was raining here and there..........NEVER eat beans and wear leather pants.....there's no exhaust on those things :o

I have yet to try and get gas since this whole thing started... I filled up before it all got going and am still above half a tank. I did sacrifice a hike last week because of it but I have not waited in any lines or paid any outragous prices. By the time I need gas I am planning on driving up to the tanks at Sam's club and filling up with out any difficulty.... They say the gas is flowing again and most places have gas. Hopefully the prices will go back down before I need any gas! Yay me!
