Today started out wonderful...we SHOULD have gotten to Yellowstone in the early afternoon. But life happens!!! Hwy 16 from Buffalo to Ten Sleep is a steep crooked road. We have traveled it before with no problems but not so this time. On the first switchback we broke a brake line. YIKES! The RV brakes were able to slow us down enough to avoid any major mishaps but there was no place to pull over. By the time we found a wide spot in the road, our right rear brake was on fire and blew out a tire. New $300 tire!! To make a long nerve wracking story short, all's well that ends well!! Changed the tire, made it to Ten Sleep----no services--then went on to Worland. They have Ford house so we are getting a new brake line, got a new tire, and are staying the night. Everyone we have encountered has been so nice and helpful.
Tomorrow the brake line part will be here and we will continue to Yellowstone. Called Sue & Jerry to let them know what is happening. It is SNOWING in Yellowstone. I think we are destined to have snow most of this summer. Maybe time to pack the shorts and sandals??
