Sun, Mar 25,  Lake Pan RV Park, Lake Pan, FL, to Tallahassee East KOA, Tallahassee, FL:  A pretty easy drive today.  We left Lake Pan at 9:30 heading north on I75.  Exited onto Rt. 27 which is a four-lane limited-access highway going through rural Florida.  Think they call this area the nature coast.  We switched in Chiefland and Mike started driving.  It started clouding up and we had clouds the rest of the way.  About 3 miles before our RV park, we started getting a computer message in the truck, “check trailer wiring.”  We didn’t know what the hell that meant so we just kept going.  When we stopped at the office of the RV park, we saw what it meant.  We lost a whole tire and will probably need a new rim, plus wiring for the fifth wheel brakes. Unfortunately, you can't really feel it when you have a flat in these things.  At least we’re set up and will start calling tomorrow to see what needs to be done.  Oh the joys of RV’ing.  Upper 70s here and mostly cloudy.

Most of our issues in all the years we've been doing this have been tires.  We're going to put all new heavy duty tires on this thing before we leave here.  Unfortunately, you never know you have a flat unless someone tells you.






Sat, Mar 24, Lake Pan RV Park, Lake Pan, FL:  Slept in a little this morning.  Mike got up and turned on the furnace and then we stayed in bed until it got warm enough to get up.  A nice day is forecast—80 and sunny.  We’re meeting my sister, Sandy, and brother-in-law, Dan, at a Cracker Barrel down the road a little.
