Oh, and no I didn't see your flat tire:) Flat tires are par for the course for us. Even if we put brand new tires on we always have at least one flat:). I'm just glad it was on the RV and not Charlies truck or the trailer. That would have been a bit hairy. That trailer and the load it had in it was almost too much for Charlies truck. He did not have trailer brakes. We've never had trailer brakes, but really would have been nice with that load.

Wow... I can't imagine a trailer that heavy without brakes. It's state law here with any tandem axle trailer.

Here's our flat tire. We were up scouting new places to ride to, and only found roads too rough to get into with the trailer. The goal was to try to find a place where the hight trail up to the tallest peak crosses one of the logging roads where we could pick it up higher. It's a 30 mile round trip from the bottom, and a lot of climbing.

You didn't have trailer brakes on that big ol' 3-horse slant trailer y'all were pulling!! I don't have brakes on my 2-horse, but that's the biggest thing I'd ever feel comfortable pulling without them. I don't know how you did it. It'd scare me to death.
