Disaster Strikes

For Memorial Day weekend, the kids and I, with a few friends, decided to brave the cold raining weather and be adventurous, camping up in the Uintahs. Well less than 10 miles from home, on our maiden camping trip of the year, our trailer blew a tire. Not a big deal you would think, we have a spare, but this turned out to be quite a ordeal. The tire blew with such force that pieces of the rubber tore a whole in the bottom of the trailer and shredded cabinets, water lines and wiring inside. It also crumpled the wheel well which got jammed between the tires. After changing the tire and getting the trailer in movable condition again, we abandoned the idea of going to a far off high country location and instead camped at the campground adjacent to Lagoon Amusement Park. It was not a serene location, but was less than 10 minutes from home and the kids had a blast playing anyway. The trailer has seen better days, but should be repairable with a few bucks and some elbow grease.
