What's missing from this picture?
Right answer: A serviceable tire
After arriving at Shady Pines RV just after noon, we found our assigned site and pulled in. I noticed that the tire nearest the door was losing air rapidly. Luckily this park is partnered with a sales and repair shop right next door. As I walked over, I found a hard, sharp piece of broken plastic in the campground driveway. Think this is what wrecked the tire.
Wayne jacked up the axle and removed the flat tire. We headed out to Daniel's Tire which was about 4 miles down the road. They quickly determined that the tire was toast, but had a replacement in stock. Within 20 minutes we were on our way back home. It took significantly longer to put the new tire back on as the jack had to be repositioned and pumped higher. Just to top things off, Wayne had to take it off one more time, as we forgot to replace the bearing cover cap. Oops.

After that excitement, we had built up a good appetite. Firehouse Subs here we come. This is a chain we discovered in Alabama last fall. Started by firemen and the stores still do fundraising benefiting firemen.

Wish Firehouse Subs were in Canada or even Mission. So delicious.
