Our First Flat Tire


Hey!
Yesterday, Thursday the 18th we left behind Oklahoma (and hopefully their heat!) for Kansas.  But alas, Kansas is no cooler than Oklahoma, bummer.  We had just gone through Wichita Kansas and were 4.5 miles from our campground when thud, thud, bang, bang……Oh, No, what was that? Well, we blew a tire, and the exhaust pipe and the LP tank.  After calling AAA (our RV roadside insurance) and getting the tire fixed and seeing the damage we headed back to Wichita to find a place to eat and stay.  We ate at Lee’s Chinese restaurant, a nice little family owned joint. We decided to sleep in the Wal-Mart parking lot and get up in the morning and get everything fixed.    Here are the pictures from the tire blow out!

  1. Now that is what I call getting off to a quick start on the aggravation side of things. Not to worry, the good things run about 50 to 1. So enjoy the next 49.
