Adventures on the Road

So we arrived in Sacramento today, a little later than planned. The family pulled off in Battle Mountain, Nevada, to have our Glass Castles moment, (if you have not read this book, you should. You will never again complain about a dysfunctional family) We noticed that the car seemed to be driving oddly, so I looked at the tires when we got out at the rest rooms. ( a frequent stop with four kids!) Our rear tire was shredded. Luckily it had not lost any air. So an hour and a half later, and some $$$$ poorer, we were back on the road. Ah, the adventures that come our way. On the positive side we have first hand knowledge of how friendly the people in Battle Mountain are. Thanks!!!
