WHILE DRIVING PAST HUMBOLT MY WHEEL OF THE TRAILER CAME OFF…I WAS LUCKY TO MANAGE TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH-OUT SPILLING THE LOAD AND OR THE TRAILER ITSELF…THERE I WAS BROKEN DOWN ..BY MYSELF…THEN I KNEW THAT MIKE LIVED NEAR BY SO I LEFT MY TRAILER AND WAS ABLE TO FIND MIKE’S HOME …THANK GOD HE WAS AT HOME …IT WAS A SUNDAY AFTERNOON..HE CAME WITH ME TO HELP…I WAS SO RELIEVED..I HAD A SPARE TIRE FOR THE TRAILER BUT NOW TO FIND OUT THAT THE WHEEL PATTERN WAS SLIGHTY DIFFERENT…SOMEHOW MIKE WAS ABLE TO MOUNT IT “STRAIGHT” ENOUGH SO I COULD “HOBBLE” IT BACK TO HIS HOME…I LEFT THE TRAILER THERE TILL I WAS ABLE TO GET A GOOD WHEEL IN PHOENIX TO RETURN THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND…WELL ACOUPLE DAYS WENT BY AND MIKE CALLS ME …HE HAD SPOTTED MY WHEEL AND TIRE “WHEDGED” BETWEEN TWO BOLDERS OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY…WHAT A EYE SIGHT TO HAVE SPOTTED IT…I RETURNED THAT WEEKEND TO REMOUNT THE WHEEL”TIGHTLY” AND TO RETURN TO PHOENIX WITH MY “CORD” OF WOOD…THANK-YOU MIKE
