I woke up at 7:15 this morning. I got up, did the pet stuff, had breakfast, and hen went outside to hook up. There was a little glitch. I didn't back up hard enough and the hitch didn't latch. I had to have Ellen hold the jaws open while I "bumped" it to get it to hitch.
The trip went pretty well. My worry about snow was groundless, there wasn't any. I had a little worry during the regen because it shut off twice because we were going down hill. Eventually it finished with a 6% load. That is great.
We got in about 12:30 and were feeling OK until I saw the passenger side trailer tires. They were destroyed. One was completely bald over half its surface. The other had a bald ring all around the interior of the tire. I have no idea what happened. I was driving fairly aggressively over the passes. Perhaps that caused it. The only other thing I can think of is a brake problem.
We looked up the tire paperwork. They are sill covered by warranty. We tried to call the place in Bend where we bought them, but they wouldn't answer the phone. So we drove there. The guy said the tires were covered. I said I wanted all 4 replaced and I'd pay for the other two. We have to wait until Tuesday to get it done. Fortunately the campground will let us stay.
We stopped at a McMennaman's on the way back. When we got home it was TV, surfing, and maybe a little nap. We just had a snack instead of dinner.
