Road Debris Killed our Tire. Day 26. In the middle of nowhere, ND

Gratitude: my husband Keith. The person who pantomimed "tire explosion" as she drove by. The State Trooper who was nice.

Oh and the double axel and personal torque wrench. Thank you FB advisors. RvMiles and Winnebago Minnie Users Group

    Glad you are safe. That could have been much, much worse.

    I know. There are a lot of people who recommend replacing all factory tires immediately. Keith isn't buying it. Wondering if you and David have an opinion on this.

      Look at the date of the tires, and the tread. How old are the tires? Tires should be replaced every 5 years, regardless of miles. So says David, who does a lot of research.

Keith channeled his Grandpa Charlie today. In 1911, Charlie went to Alaska for the gold rush. He came back with  gold nugget he formed into a ring. The other nugget paid his fare back to New Hampshire. We were more successful. We are returning to CT with a haul of of crystals and 25 pounds of quartz.  The day started with our getting lost on the way to the mine. No GPS, no cell. No wifi. Not much of a road. And have you seen Ozark on Netfix? They're drug dealers in them thar hills. Finally we found Bee and Joe. They are leasing the mining rights so we can dig. And dig we did. Essentially it was a strip mine and we used garden implements and sand box toys to find our rocks. Keith hit pay-crystal. Two big ones and we both found lots of small ones.  Here's our haul. Crystals Quartz with crystals growing. Still working on cleaning Plus about 25 pounds of quartz. The most common rock on the earth.
