Blow Outs Cause A Lot Of Damage!

Sept 4,

After a wonderful weekend at the lake, we packed up and headed to Myrtle Beach on Tuesday.  On the way here we had a blow out on a tire on the trailer and man on man did it rip things up.   No damage to life or limb, but the trailer took a beating.  The fender ripped off and the slide out was bent and much was torn or destroyed under the rig.  It will cost over $2500 to repair.  Thank God we have insurance!  The real bummer in the whole thing is that we'll have to wait for the parts to arrive before the repairs can be done and that will take about 3 weeks.  So..., we may not make it down to Key West as we had hoped.  Such is life...

We are beginning to think there is a jinks to coming to Myrtle Beach.  Somehow we just can't come here and only stay a week or so.

That was then...  We've decided to buy a new rig.  We'd been thinking about it most of the summer and thought we'd do it sometime this winter.  With the damage to the trailer and dealing with the insurance company we decided now is the time.  So we'll be heading down to Tampa Fl toward the end of this week to get our new rig.  It changes our timing a bit, but that's the beauty of this life style.
