On the road by 6:50 a.m. this morning, with a quick stop for fuel, we were back on I-10 west bound. Except for a few miles leaving Deming, the road was smooth. There are a few construction spots along the route, but no slowdowns.

Traffic was light going thru Tucson, so we sailed right thru. We made a stop at a Denny’s for lunch with our good friends Nancy and Ken. A once a year catch up.

We were back on the road just after 1:00 p.m. and shortly after merge onto I-8, cruising along for about an hour when all went to pot. We blew another tire on the trailer, same side but the back one. Damage to the fender skirt and ripped the fabric under covering. Didn’t break the plywood floor, but there is a lose tile on the kitchen floor inside.

The whole tread peeled off

Once again, I am on the side of the road for 45 minutes, lots of room, changing the tire. I had to use some tuck tape to secure the fender skirt until I can see if I can reattach it.

That's me. All photos are curtesy of Pat.
Carrying on, we reached our destination here at 5:30 p.m. Having travelled 463.6 miles on I-10 and I-8, which I will give both a rating of 8 out of 10.

Not much left.
Tomorrow we will head into Yuma for some shopping and a new tire. Thanks for checking in, until the next time, take care. Check out Pat’s blog HERE for a detailed story of our day.
