The last few days have been a bit of a struggle with the tires issues. We limped along to Richfield, UT, keeping a watchful eye on the nail tire while the Chickenbone Tire rode rent-free as a spare. Not that it could have been a spare but the rim was a necessary passenger.
What is this, a saber-toothed tiger fang?!
As promised, the new tire
arrived on Tuesday morning and we were one of the first in line for
service. After it was installed, the
mechanic pulled the culprit out of the punctured tire. None of us is sure what it is but it looks
like a fang! It’s two inches long,
curved and pointy. And piercing the
sidewall, same as the nail. What are the
odds of all of this?!
After the new tire was
installed we did a little more paddleboarding on Palisades Lake, went for an
early dinner at Bar 86 and here we are, ready to head for the homestead
tomorrow morning.
Oh. One more thing. The Visitors Center was open today. Maggie said that the old buildings that
looked like old barracks or a fort or a POW camp or something are actually a
mink farm. Not something I’d have ever
guessed in a million years.
That’s all for this time, t-loggers! Bye from Lindy and Rob! Love you!
