Today was our longest day of driving. We had another exciting time of narrowly escaping Passat tragedy. We stopped for fuel and realized one of the tires on the car trailer was flat. We asked a nearby trucker what he thought and he said we could easily lose control of the trailer with the tire like that. Once again I wonder how long was it like that! Who knows what could have happened had we not stopped for gas. The other amazing thing is that it only took Penske about an hour to find us, replace the tire, and have us on our way. Initially we were told it could take up to 90 minutes for them just to get to us. God really has been showing his grace to us in all of these circumstances that are potentially dangerous/irritating/time consuming. We have been so fortunate and relatively stress free!
Today also was my first time driving through Kansas. I've seen more fields and cows in the past day than my whole life combined. We also saw a bison farm. Grover stayed awake more today than previous days - I think because he is so intrigued by all the fields and there was a constant flow of them today. One funny thing was that he ended up snoozing for a few minutes and at the next big cattle farm he woke up SO fast. I guess his nose can still tell his brain when there is livestock to be seen.
So we drove for about 12 hours today and we are at a sweet new hotel in Colby, KS. We have about four or five more hours tomorrow and then it's home sweet home in CO. Ok bye!
