We left New Hampshire on Sat July 19, headed for Houlton Maine. We were traveling with our friends Paul and Mary Foxworthy, going north on I-95, when we hit a bump or something, and we heard a pop under the coach. Mel asked what it was, and I didn't have a clue. I looked in the rear view mirror, and saw that our bike wasn't hanging as high as it had been. We pulled into a service plaza, and crawled under the coach to see 3 bolts missing, and the frame of the lift bent. After searching for a welding shop, and other possible alternatives, we decided no one was able to help us on Sat, so we took Paul's pick up, bought some new bolts, and a trailer, and fixed it(sort of) our selves. We bolted the frame as best we could, loaded our bike on the new trailer we bought, hooked it to the coach, and down the road we went. God provided a trailer sales place near by, a store that sold the bolts we needed, and a great friend with the vehicle to help us. The next day, we headed into Canada, and Paul's 5th wheel blew a tire. It tore of some trim from his trailer, but very little damage. We were only 1 1/4 miles from a tire store, he bought 4 new tires, and they had them changed in less than 45 min. Once again we were taken care of.
Internet service is spotty, so posting isn't easy. We have seen some great scenery, and will post as we can.
