Hello! Wow, we made it!! I am typing this blog from my home in Manchester, New Hampshire tonight. We left Hollywood Casino in Grantville Pennsylvania at around 9am and I-81 had massive pot holes in the highway. A very bumpy ride along the way. We decided to stop for breakfast at a Petro Truck Stop off Exit 178B. Simple place with a restaurant and when we pulled into the truck stop to get fuel the light and buzzer to our tire pressure monitoring system was alerting us that we were losing air from one of the trailer’s tires. Like losing air where we were watching the air pressure on the display monitor steadily drop….68….65….62….59….55….52 so when we got to a safe open parking spot at the truck stop, I hopped out of the pick up and went to the particular tire and sure enough, it was hissing quite noticeably. We dropped the spare and easily changed the tire right there on the spot. Then we went to the restaurant to eat breakfast. At this truck stop there is a huge truck repair center with bays, so after we ate we just drove next to the restaurant to inquire if they could fix the leak on the tire we had taken off the trailer. They declined us and I’m not sure why, but they weren’t going to help us for whatever reason. So (and I know this is a huge taboo with RVers and other travelers) we continued our journey home without a spare. Yes, I was nervous, but luck be with us, we made it the whole way home.
Once we parked the RV in it’s summer spot, we took just the necessity stuff to get us thru the night so we can come back up to clean the rest of the RV out. We are all exhausted from the trip home and it’s relaxing time….like a vacation from our vacation! Well, this blog is not done yet, so stay with me a little longer here and I’ll be sharing with you post snowbird trip happenings! It’s nice to go all thru the things that I have acquired thru the last 4 months. They are going to bring back some great memories as I sift thru postcards I picked up along the way and souvenir trinkets I collected. Jake is doing super good too! I thought I was tired, but I can see he is more tired than me as he snores away next to me. Sleep little puppy, because we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow! Have a great night! I’ll be back tomorrow!
