KABOOM!

Once we hit I75 into Georgia, we blew a trailer tire without warning. The damage was significant. We were pretty 
disappointed since we had planned to trade the 5th wheel 
in on a motorhome soon. Jason put the spare tire on and 
we got on the road again. Fearing that all tire and auto 
places would be closed on Memorial Day, we stopped at 
a Walmart to get another tire mounted. It was 6:08 pm 
and they didn't want to help since the auto center was 
supposed to close at 6:00 pm.








Driving carefully for the rest of the way, we finally made it to Atlanta around 10:45 pm. The state park was closed so we stayed at Sandy and Imelda's place.
As expected, the tire and auto places were all closed. No repairs being done today either.

  2. We would have put you on a new tire at our Walmart TLE. That's a crock, next time go to the store manager or co-manager, let them know you are traveling and they would have done it. And if that was Monday most Walmart TLE's don't close til 7pm. Only time they close at 6pm is on Sundays. At least here they don't... Brad
