I'm sure it's expensive to ship gas to the Island on a barge, and prices reflect that--I filled the golf cart yesterday and regular gas was $3.69 a gallon. But that's much better than the almost $6 it was when gas prices were high. Fortunately, it only takes about 4 gallons to fill the tank, and we only need gas about once a month.

You climb up and up a steep twisting road and then make an equally precipitous drop down to the the gas station, which is hidden away in sort of an industrial area called Pebbly Beach. Here's a shot from along the way - note the ravens soaring on the edge of the picture.
