AMYE BLEW IT !

Sorry, no pictures today.

Yesterday, Amye and I left Tucson to meet up with Joan west of Phoenix. We were about 60 miles east of Phoenix when the 'Tilton Hilton blew a rear tire. Amye called her road service and they said they would be there in 30 minutes. Thank goodness a State Trooper stopped to see if we needed assistance. He was able to tell road service where we were. Even a DOT truck stopped and even asked if we had plenty of drinking water as it was warming up fast. It probably was a total of 1-1/2 hours before we were rescued. Amye's spare was the smaller tire that fit the front, mine was a rear tire, so we had the guy take my spare. Well, wouldn't you know it, the bolts were different and he could not use mine. So we put the smaller one on. In the mean time, Joan was trying to find a tire that would fit. NO WHERE can one be found until August. Joan contacted a Discount Tire in Phoenix and we decided to meet her there. They took my tire off my wheel and put it on her wheel. Now , Joan and I are hoping we won't need to use the "shared" spare tire she has. We are looking for possible replacements to the Continental tires.

By the time we left Phoenix it was about lunch time. We decided to keep going to our planned destination. What a nice place we found in Blythe, CA! Right on the Colorado River. Our site backed up to the river. Joan enjoyed a dip in the river while sipping on a Margarita. It was just too hot to sit out, so Amye and I sat in our air conditioned rigs. Heading for the Joshua Tree National Park.
