We are now at Tickfaw State Park, the sixth Louisiana State Park we’ve stayed at in a row. I must say, they’ve all been pretty nice, with 50 amp electrical service and water. We seem to have left the mosquitoes behind and are back in armadillo country. Notice the beautiful red sweet gum tree behind our site.
I also came across this bicentennial cypress tree “live in 1812”. There is some hurricane damage here, but happily this tree survived.
But the main reason I’m happy to be here is that it got a bit dicey getting here. The trailer got a flat tire on this state highway. Our TyMate tire monitor worked perfectly, so we knew immediate we had a flat.
But this road, like many here in Louisiana, had no shoulder. The best Bud could do was find a straight patch. Fortunately there were enough curves that folk’s weren’t going fast and everyone saw us in plenty of time to make their way safely around. Two people stopped to make sure we didn’t need any help. In about a half hour the spare was mounted and we were on our way.
We didn’t see any obvious reason for the flat, but today when we looked more closely, we found the two inch slit on the inside sidewall. No repair for that so we got to replace our three and a half week old tire. Ah the joys of the road.
On the Roam Again 
Well, I’m glad for the ‘positives’ anyway! Another thing, when a tire has to be replaced, they usually suggest you replace them in pairs. Since your tires are basically new, you don’t have to think about replacing this tire’s ‘pair’!
