cincinnati traffic sucks!

Well we were making good time for awhile! Finally left without any problems at about 11:30 today. Thr trailer and the bike are working out just fine. It is such a beautiful day to travel, then somebody decided to get into an accident on the bridge in Cincy crossing the river. Now anyone who knows me or has driven with me will tell you that I hate sitting in traffic, sitting on bridges and in tunnels. That about encompasses everything, oh I forgot about, RUBBERNECKERS!!!! This is why we are going at a stop and go pace!

Finally we get over the bridge, into KY! Whew got it made now free flowing traffic! So I am writing this blog and Chuck says, "Does that sound like a flat to you?" Aw CRAP! The back tire of the trailer just blew out! LOL Now what? Don't panic, call somebody. I have friends in Cincinnati! Lo and be hold here comes the CVS Samaritan van behind us. This fine young man, Scott tells us he can help us out. He jacks the thing up, takes the tire off and him and Chuck drive away and get a replacement! There back in a few minutes, put the tire on and he drives away! Cost me $22.00 for the tire. Scott tells me the CVS guys are EMT's and master mechanics, no wonder he made it look so easy! Thank you CVS and thank you Scott! A special thanks to the fine driving skills of Chuck!

We are back on the road again, about 75 miles from Louisville and I will attempt to post some pictures.
