Long day yesterday. 12 hours on the road. Made it to Marysville. Two hours from the border. We're on the way to the ferry now and then straight to see Eric's Mom. I think today is her first day on her own.
So yesterday, the police shot the tires out on a semi truck. There was debris on the road. We ended up with a punctured tire. Scary. Eric managed to pull us safely to the side. Then put our donut on. The rain stopped while he was out there but everything was still wet and muddy. Had to empty the van on the side of the road. Now we're in the mountains not near any towns and the donut is good for 50 miles. Three o'clock on a Sunday and there is no chance of finding a Canadian Tire ;) Crazy luck was on our side. First truck stop we came to was just down the hill and there was a repair shop with a 24/7 number. We called and the guy showed up in minutes. He didn't have our size tire but was able to patch it for us. Eric was doubtful it could be patched. So far so good. Oh, and he only charged $25. Feeling grateful it worked out ok.
Always good to get back in Canada and we're all excited to be almost home :)
