Thank God, Les Schwab, Gregg Andrews and Telle King!



About 30 miles out of Pocatello, ID we heard a BANG! I looked back and, sure 'nuf a tire blew on the trailer.

Thank God that it was the perfect location. It was a wide place in the road, not too hot and a nice breeze. Huge rocks and really pretty.

Thank God that He gave me the personality that always has plan A, B, and C. I had floor jack, tire iron, and everything else we need in easy reach. (Kiley is amazing at using that tire iron to take the spare off the back of the trailer).

Thanks for a great friend in Gregg Andrews who had offered his rechargable air pump...the spare, even though I had checked it before we left, had lost pressure.

Thanks for a great friend in Telle King who had offfered her GPS for us to use...Kiley typed in "Les Schwab Tire" and it took us streight to them, 22 miles away.

Thanks for having just put two new tires on from Les Schwab before we left. 30 minutes later we drove away from Les Schwab with a new tire, all the other tires double-checked and no bill...they have a great warranty!

Deja vu! I think that it is a law that a tire must blow out on the travel trailer on the vacation.

Glad you all are safe. Can't wait to hear about more adventures!
