Our first plans had us leaving
Phoenix on Tuesday morning. A
potential detour through Nebraska
led us to leave on Monday
morning. Good thing we didn't
need the detour, cause we sure
needed the time.
The trailer had a tweaked axle
from an off-road excursion in the
snow in February that I hadn't
notices. But that led to tire
failures, which led to a reefer door
falling off, which led to a door
knob being removed from the door
to the head in the trailer.
The front right trailer wheel had
some excessive camber, and
outside Tulsa we started seeing
belts showing on the inside of the
tire. With the axle clearly out of
kilter, John and I crept into Tulsa,
with Bill and Gary on our six, to
have the axle replaced. Bill and
Gary kept on their way while John
and Ifound a shop to replace the
axle. Wednesday afternoon we
were back on the road again for a
non-stop run to Canton.
We pulled into the Canton
McKinley Rifle and Pistol Club
around 1 pm local time. Whew!
