We left Rocky Ford knowing that we had a full day (8-10 hours) of drive time ahead of us. But we had a new truck new tires, all seemed grand. This was our first big travel day and we were ready.
For lunch we stopped at a truck stop and enjoyed some down time off the road. Things were going smooth – until we came back to the trailer and saw a flat tire!
After inspecting – we found we had picked up a nail causing the flat.
So…my Harbor Freight 12 ton canister jack had leaked its oil and wouldn’t lift the trailer. A very helpful truck stop attendant came out with his big floor jack and did the job – SO thankful for people that God puts in our lives!
We arrived late evening on Wednesday Sept 11 at East Lake Harvey County Park. Nice to be under some big cottonwood shade trees next to the lake.
We were able to get the tire fixed. The next day Caleb and Ryan came to help Papa change the tire and put the spare back (for next time!)
