Midway on our journey to Fun N Sun

As scheduled, we left Ottawa early Wednesday morning and crossed into the USA at Ogdensburg ( a less stressful port when compared to the Thousand Island port of entry). The sun shone and we had a nice relaxing drive down I90 stopping at Concord, Ohio for the night. Jane chose the Baymont Inn & Suites (not RV park) to get out of the cold weather.

Thursday morning we were off past Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinati and into Kentucky. Around 4:30pm a steel belt decided to seperate from one of our trailer tires, causing minor damage to the side of our trailer as it left for the roadway.

Good Sam emergency road service responded within an hour to install the spare tire. Naturally the flat had to be on the road side! Even with a tow truck and it's flashing lights, not too many drivers switched lanes to get around. Glad to have Good Sam do the work. We were quickly on our way to Horse Cave, Kentucky for the night.

Friday morning we drove down to Bowling Green, KY and stopped at a BF Goodrich dealer to replace the damaged tire. With a new spare on board, we headed to the Tunica, Mississippi casino area and are parked at the Hollywood Casino RV Park. We plan to rest for two nights here, then continue south on Sunday.

  1. Ouch sorry to hear about your flat. Hope the rest of the journey is incident free.
