Today was all about rain, flat tire and hotel room laundry.
Big thanks to Griffin towing for helping get our tire off. And we were grateful for the people at Pritchett Tire for getting a tire for us so quickly .
Educational Opportunity: This picture is of a nut/bolt key for a tire. Many cars have locking lug nuts/bolts on their tires, and a key is required to remove the bolt so a tire can be removed. As you see here, we have a key. But it didn’t work. If you think about it enough you can identify all the problems this can cause (expensive problems). Thanks again to Griffin for getting our tire off.
RECOMMENDATION: Check to see if you have locks on your tires, and if so, you have a working key. A spare tire is just decoration if you can’t get the flat off.
This is what a hotel room looks like on laundry day for a thru-hiker.
Gave our first shuttle ride to a hiker today. This is Tumbles from New Jersey. Dropped him at the hikers whole foods…The Dollar General Store.
