we are a long way from home!

so last night we found a place to sleep but then trains started going by every 20 min so we packed up and slept in a rest stop.



this morning we lost a tire. i was driving along thinking how i didnt like sectioned cement roads because they always made that flat tire feeling. then i feel the car pull a little to the left, a little more and then yeah totally flat tire all in about 5 seconds. we pull off to the side of the road and change it. the tire appears to have split at the bead. hopefully we can find a place to get something cheap to replace it with here in Missouri.

yeah the tire isnt supposed to open like that ...
