Yup! We had a blowout! Just after leaving Kingman we heard a whoosh sound and immediately pulled over. It was funny (not really) but, John had just mentioned the tire pressure gauge looking good and then the whoosh. That was a new tire and it was totally shredded and wrapped around the wheel/axle. It was hard enough for John to get it jacked up because we were on a slant on the side of the flat–at least that is what I think was happening. I did get out to help because we were on the highway and I was really worried. We immediately went back to Kingman to buy a new wheel and tire. By immediately I do mean after John changed it. So maybe an hour later. And to think I was so worried about getting to Vegas too early to check in. That wasn’t a problem.
We arrived at our campground about 3:00 PM and set up camp. This is super nice. There is a dog park with 4 different size kennels to let your dog run. There is a dog bathing station, a pool, spa, gym and of course clubhouse. Some people stay long term here. We put dinner in the crockpot–a little later than we planned but, we went for a drive to Red Rock Canyon.
A great ending to the day. We came back to camp to a home cooked meal, played some scrabble and off to bed. Tomorrow is Hoover Dam.
