Sherri and I got up early this morning so we would have time to drink our coffee and visit for just a little bit before we had to pull out for home. We sat in the living room and sipped our coffee and recanted some of the stories we heard last night and laughed as we retold each story. It is so good to attend these reunions and visit with all the family once a year. I hope that next year some of our kids can go with us and meet some of their kin folk here.
While visiting with some of the family I learned that one of our cousins had called Good Sam's to get a tire changed. I am a member but never had to use them so I was curious to see how fast they came to the rescue. It was about 45 minutes and here they came. The guy pulled up to the MH and got right to work. In no time he had the tire off and the new one put on the wheel and back on the hub. Man I will have to say that it was very professionally done. Some papers were signed but no money changed hands and he was out of there as fast as he had arrived.
45 minutes and the guy was here to change the tire
Wham the tire was off and on the ground
Did not take long and the job was done.
I hope that I never have to have them come out for me but if they do as good a job for me as they did for our cousin then I will keep on paying for the service.
We stuck around until about 10:00 and then packed up...dumped...hook up the Jeep and we were on the road home. It was a 4 1/2 hour drive to the Lake and the wind almost drove me over the edge. I was so glad to pull into my barn when we got there. I was exhausted and ready to rest. Well the rest did not come about. I had to park level and load up the Jeep so we could head off to Tyler Texas for the week. This would be another 1 1/2 drive.
We arrived in Tyler late and checked in. Before we even unloaded our clothes we went out to eat. We then returned to the hotel and unloaded our stuff...shuffled up the elevator and unpacked. I took a nice hot shower and got ready for bed. I could not hardly hold my eyes open after such a long adventure...

We had a flat in the middle of no-where in Utah, no cell service. Just so happened that not too far ahead of us there was road service changing someone tire. Got him to do ours next, and although he wouldn't accept the Good Sam card, we sent them the bill of 150 dollars and were reimbursed in no time. Very happy with them.
Unfortunately, we've had plenty of experience with Good Sam and can't say enough good things about them! You sure were lucky with your Carriage 5th wheel like ours. We sure got a lemon with the 2008 model! Having it hauled to Jojoba Hills Escapee park in CA and don't plan to move it again!
