Sunday morning, and it was time to go home. My daughter and I had a nice breakfast, and then loaded up the trailer. I didn't leave town until about 1130.
The trip home was a little more eventful.

Big traffic jam in Huber Heights, OH.


I have no idea what this is. Looks like electrical insulators. But why a rotating shaft? Never seen this before. Probably space aliens.




In the middle of MO I shredded a right rear trailer tire. I was able to pull off the highway and change it without difficulty.


Did a little bit of damage to the fender, but easily fixed.


Monday Morning, I stopped by Discount Tires in Blue Springs, MO, and bought 4 new tires. That's when we found this on the left rear.




I was able to find a trailer parts store in Lee's Summit that had exactly what I needed.


But now it was really starting to rain.


But, had to fix it anyway. Glad I still had this canopy attached!


With the tires, repairs, and the rain, I was delayed 4-5 hours. So I stayed another night in the middle of KS, and got home Tuesday afternoon.

Except for the one day (Monday), the weather was really good the whole trip. I should have driven the Cobra. If I was in the Cobra, I would have been moving along a lot faster, and probably would have missed most of the rain, anyway.

Oh, well. Maybe next time.
