Day 2: Monday, August 7

7:40 am and we're at the gas station filling up. A bit of an earlier start today, we are ready to rock! We encountered some rain and found for some reason there's a replay of Stern on the sirius (where is he??).
9:25 am We are rollin' along when some men roll down their window and start franticly waving at us. We pull over onto the shoulder to find that we blew out one of the tires on the car trailer (good thing there are 4 of em) and it is COMPLETELY shredded. We head for the nearest gas station and call Penske.

11:20 am Well, we lost nearly 2 hours (we had to wait an hour and 20 min.s for them), but Rich from Wingfoot Goodyear not only changed our tire, he checked the air pressure in them all (surprisingly the tires on the car trailer were overinflated and those on the truck were underinflated). He even gave Josh a gage so we could check it ourselves. Thanks Rich!!
