Boom!

A surprise adventure added to our trip across WY.  Out of nowhere a 3 year old tire with 30,000 miles on the right front decides it is time to blow-out. The good news, we are on a lonely, lightly trafficked stretch of I-80 in WY. The bad news, we are on a lonely, lightly trafficked stretch of I-80 in WY.  It is good because there was plenty of room to get the whole motorhome & trailer quickly off the side of the road with only limited damage to the rest of the RV.  It is bad because help could be far off.  Also good news, we renewed the Good Sam Roadside Assistance in May so one call and help arrived pretty quickly.  We are back on the road in ”just” 3 hours.  Cost to us was a new tire and installation, Good Sam covers the service call and mileage.  There is a little bit of fender inner-liner damage and the stainless-steel wheel cover now has a scalloped edge.  The fender will take a little fiberglass repair and I may be able to straighten the wheel cover.   Much better outcome than it might have been.
