Blow Out

  We had a few challenges getting everything ready to leave Vermont and head back to Texas.  But we finally hit the road on Thursday.
  We were happy to be on our way and enjoyed seeing the sun.
  However, only a few hours down the road we had a blow out.  This is the first one we've had so we consider ourselves lucky.
  When the tire blew it did a bit of damage.  We will deal with most of it when we get back to Texas, but today we were busy trying to get things fixed enough to drive.  The 2 big things are of course tires and the filler tube to the gas tank was crushed and we couldn't put any gas in the tank.  Scotty we able to remove and do a temporary repair to the tube.  We haven't located a new gas cap yet.
