SPOT GPS

Here is the link to my SPOT GPS shared page. It only shows information that I've sent in the last 7 days. So if it's empty it just means I haven't used it lately but I'm still OK.

This trip was planned as a four day cruise to continue testing out the RV systems and spend some time alone.  I had some technal difficulties but all a learning experience.  As I drove into the camp ground I heard a ticking sound that sounded link a rock in a tire.  In the morning before I left I checked the tires and found an outside rear tire was empty.  I was able to drive into an area of the camp ground will cell service and called AAA.  No tire places close by so I waited three hours for them to arrive.  A LesSchwab from nearby Astoria OR.  Nice guys and made quick work.  The first thing they said looking at the tires was that it was probably the valve extensions.  Sure enough no nails but a leak fron the valve.  They pulled the tire anyway but was good.  I learned about the dual wheels, that I have a good spare, and I pulled all the other extensions off.  I have since found that I do have a lug nut wrench and I bought a jack so if needed I could change my own tire.
