More Tubac adventures

While still at Tubac, we decided to take a run north about 25 km to Green Valley in the hopes of finding a place to wash the car. We couldn’t find a regular car wash but found a good self wash similar to the one we used in Victoria. We were happy to finally be able to clean off a solid accumulation of bugs and dirt, and to vacuum out the interior. However, just as we pulled up to the vacuum machine, we discovered yet another nearly flat tire. Thinking that this was a repeat of the mysterious leak we had in Provo, we looked around for a tire store to have it checked. My, we are lucky! Just as in Provo, there was a tire store not 200 metres away so we very gingerly drove to it and asked them to take a look at the tire. No mystery this time—there was two inch nail embedded in the tread. The OK Tire store removed the nail, repaired it with a boot, remounted it and put it back on the tire. They also replaced a faulty valve in the tire with which we had previously had a problem. We asked for the bill and nearly fell over when the man said it would be ten bucks! Doesn’t get any better than that.
