The Flat

We caravanned up to Idaho with Tyler's brother, Sam, and his wife, Collette. They live in Colorado Springs (about an hour South of us). On the way up Tyler looks in the rear-view mirror and watches in horror as Sam goes careening off of the highway (at 75 mph), thru the median and into oncoming traffic. Luckily Sam was able to get his truck stopped just inside the yellow line. Sam had hit some black ice and his truck went out of control. We are so glad he was able to regain control of the truck and that they were all safe. After getting control of his heart-rate, he drove back thru the median and pulled ahead of where we had stopped. He had blown out his rear tire. No biggie, right??? Well, his super-sweet truck has custom rims, which apparently did not have the right size lug wrench to along with it. Tyler and I ended up driving about 10 miles back to Rawlins, WY to get the right tools, and after a mere 2 hours we were back on the road - yeah!!!

Holy scary, Batman! I'm glad everyone was okay, and that it (only) took you two hours. Ugh.
