How can it happen....?



How can it be....that we would have 3 flat tires in the matter of just a few hours?

We headed out this morning, to drive around the island, Lake Quinault in our tow vehicle, (Steve's reliable '97 Toyota p/u) and within just a mile of our campsite we get a flat tire.
The left front. The tire iron that comes with the spare wouldn't work.We were near two houses, we knocked on doors, an elderly man had an old rusty tire iron....didn't work.
But, he drove Mark to the local Garage to borrow theirs.
Mark came back and changed the tire.

Nowwwww, we are on the road Hwy 12 driving to Bellingham from Lake Quinault and someone yelling out their window to us ' You're draggin' your rear'....The two rear tires are flat on
the tow Toyota !
Oh no !
So, here we sit on the side of the road waiting for Coach Net 'connection' to come. . . to replace two rear tires.
He is here now, and we have found, it is much WORSE that two bad tires...looks like the transmission has gone out !

TO BE CONTINUED....................................
