It was about 38 this morning. I had to put on the furnace to warm up the trailer. We only had about a 4 hour drive so we didn't get in any hurry. We headed out and got on the Natchez Trace Parkway. It was a really nice drive, The speed limit is 50 mph. We hardly saw any cars. We got on I-20 in Jackson Ms and headed east. We stopped later to fill up the truck and eat lunch. About a mile later down the road we had a blowout on a trailer tire. I never felt it but a car signaled that I had a problem so I pulled over. Usually I would change my own tire but because of my back I called Good Sam, It took awhile but they finally got someone there. We finally got back on the road. That one call paid for my Good Sam. It s nice to have and luckily we had cell service. We were only 30 miles from our next stop. As we got to the campground office a guy pulled in behind us and said a tire was abour to come off of trailer. Sure enough on another tire all the lug nuts and bolts were gone but two, I limped to our site with a wobbly tire. I couldn't break the two nuts to take tire off so I went to town and found a shop. The said if I get it there in the morning they could fix it. Im hoping to limp the 2.5 miles to the shop. Not a great day but it could have been worse.
