Day 32 April 5

Changing a tire on the Highway side of the trialer.  Note the truck going by at 70 the speed limit here.

The offending tire with one of the big peices. This is off the road and taken at the tire dealer.
We drove from Blakeley intending to drive to a spot about 7 hours from there to be about half way to our next destination in Fredricksburg Texas.  Unforfortanetly we only made it part way and ended up with an unpanned stop in Mississippi.  We blew out a tire on the highway, the tire came completly apart and damage the other tire next to it. on Rt 10.  The tire went around a few times and tore a hole in the bottom of the camper as well.  Changing the tire on the highway was an interesting expereience.  We got a tire on and traveled up two exits to a Super Walmart but they were out of the tire we needed.  We went to two other dealers in town before we found the tires we needed.  So "Griz" from Delta tire found us four new Tires and after a 4 hour delay and 350 dollars we were on our way again. Delat tire was very nice and gave Jane and Anna each a very nice soccer ball.  We than drove for a quick overnight at Cajun Country Campground in Port Allen, Louisiana.
