On the way to Alachua we had a right-front blowout on i-10, about 40 miles before the i-75 interchange. After a fashion we got a tire delivered and installed, and went on our way.....until we noticed a nasty front end vibration. We had turned onto i-75 at this point and were within 25 miles of our next CG destination, so I slowed down a lot...trying to find a speed that was comfortable for the vibration. Silly me I thought we were dealing with an unbalanced new front right tire. We limped into the Travelers Campground, checked in and got set up, and i checked the front of the rig...and found the left front tire had a seriously nasty big balloon...we were VERY lucky it didn't blow, and if it had been warmer it probably would have. So, the next morning we got a tire repair person out and the left front tire was replaced.
Good friends of ours, Dick and Melanie Baker, live in the Alachua area and they came by and took us out to dinner on Saturday. It was wonderful seeing them and getting out of the rig for a bit!
Our trip home today was uneventful...thank God! Total distance covered from here to the end of the Panhandle and back was about 1000 miles. We love that area and have booked reservations for four nights in June for Fort Pickens National Campground, right on the Gulf....a lot of photos from there are on the following album.
