Yeah man it was pretty wild on the way up

I was actually relieved to hit Rush hour traffic on the way back down. The roads are trash and the speeds coming up would have been trouble coming back down. The trailer's about 13,000 lb and that's just a 3/4 ton truck but I'm pulling it with.

We got down to Lafayette. That leaves us 10 hours of driving tomorrow. We had to stop for rain.

How do you run brakes in that trailer ? Just wondering …

They're electric brakes and the truck has a brake controller


I had a tire that I was a little bit worried about that's not doing so great so we're pulled over and getting a new tire. This one isn't holding air real good.

And I thought that snapping dual throttle cables on a rented BMW motorcyle in a canyon several miles outside of Bozeman, MT on a 4th of July weekend was bad. That only took hours to get towed to Bozeman, and hours for Rob Simonich to drive down from Clancy to pick us up.

But we only had saddlebags on the bike to mess with.

Jo, if there's any way to help, gimme a call...though I can't think of how.

Thanks elliot. The guy from the tire store is here now. I'm sure we'll be back on the road in no time.
