Unplanned adventure
Friday, 24 July 2026
The inception: a loud pop (blown tire).
The outcome: just fine.
It was okay because we weren’t on I-75, there was a wide shoulder, and it was a rear tire (so it didn’t affect steering).
The big plus was a tire place (actually several, but we only needed one) a mere three miles away.
And we needed new tires, anyway.
They promised they’d finish changing, balancing, etc. the four new tires by 3:30. In fact, we were on the road again just before 3pm.
Also, we’re on track to get to our previously planned hotel stop at a reasonable hour.
