ADVENTURE CONTINUES

yesterday tuesday we left the campground in penscoloa around 9:30 and checked out..the man at the desk asked wher we wer heading lar said mobile..he laughed and said that isn't very far oh we know it said lar..mobile was only about 1 1/2 hr away..aout on interstate 10 we headed and started west toward mobile...about 1/2 hr on the road lar hear a strange noise and we both looked out our side mirrors i said there is nothing on my side and he said something is flapping on my side..over he pulls and we get out to loook...sure enough we had a real blow out (flat tire)..on the drivers side...(funny the night befre he noticed a bulge in one of the tires and said i think i'll change it so nothing happens and when we get to mobile we will buy a new tire...ok i say he knows..)so there we are on a interstate and traffic is going by a fast pace..we have AAA so why not call them ..so we did after waiting for about 2 hrs finally they arrive...only one person stopped to see if we had a problem and offered to help..told them that the triple A was on it's way and thank you...lar thought that on a busy interstate it would bebest to have some help..dave arrived and it took about 45 minutes to change the tire as they had to jack it up put some blocking under the rig and finally it was canged..lar had decided that not only would we get 1 tire but new ones all the way around..dave followed us to the tire store as he knew wher it was ..becuse the spare was the one with the bulge on it and we all thought it would blow and then we'd be in big trouble....the firestone store was only about 6 miles away...arrived at the store and they did have tires we could use so 4 we ordered and finally around 5:30 we arrived at a campground...all the camp sites were full but the lady said there is one that has been paid for and the people aren't arriving till the 10th so as long as you want to stay only 3 night we will put in that one...thank you we say...so today we will do some repair on the rig and maybe even do the laundry...

so when someone says it is only a short distance beware..it might be a short distance but a long time to get the distance...

we sure know that the good lord is watching over us
