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!
Loved the adventure with you two!
ReplyDeleteFrank - Good to hear your troubles are behind you. That is a one of a kind story pulling out that Jurassic artifact out of your tire. I’ll be on the road with you headed back to home-base in Az. I spent a few with my daughter and SIL in San Diego. I’ll be taking some back roads out through the dessert for a little different scenery. I’m praying I don’t pick up any road hazards as you did! Chuckle! Chuckle!
ReplyDeleteLindy & Rob, we and all of your readers are delighted the new tires arrived as planned, so you can get back to the business of having fun.
ReplyDeleteWishing you guys many more fun-filled adventures.
I told someone the other day that I thought there were only two reasons for living.
Having a ball &/or making other people happy.
With your adventures & t-Logs, you nail them both.
Happy Traveling.
F & L
Glad to hear you got some more paddleboarding in before your return. Amazing story about your Jurassic tire. Keep the tire for a museum display???
ReplyDeleteAnd so...another wonderful adventure - except for the tire issues - comes to an end. Always so sorry when t-logs end. Hugs.
