An Interesting Day . . .

or Jan has finally unclenched.

About 11:30 this morning on our from Las Vegas to the Verde Valley Thousand Trails, something tumbled out from under the wheels of a passing semi, and BOOOM! our passenger side front tire suddenly looked like this.

BlowOut Tire

It was an FUN 30 seconds or so until we finally THUMP-THUMPED to a full stop.

It’s late and I’m tired, so I’m just going to do pictures tonight and fill in the blanks tomorrow. We’re fine, the rig is fine, though a little worst for wear, We’re now parked at an RV Repair place in Prescott, complete with 50 amps.

Besides the blown tire, the fuel hose was torn away between the fill cap and the tank, a wire bundle at the front of the wheel well was shredded, and the vibration broke off the bottom outside mirror.

Thought for the Day:

Jan and I were very lucky today. It could have been much worse. Someone up there was watching over us.
