The bad day continues.


We got home from camping in time for Richard to get ready and go to the stake father and sons camp with Jared and Jordan.  Because of the motorhome problems they decided to take the truck instead and sleep in a tent.  I think you can see from the pictures that the bad day continued with a flat on the truck tire.  The only problem was they could not get the spare tire to come all the way down.  And then once they got it part way down it wouldn't go back up.  Several people stopped to help and everyone gave up in defeat.  So after several rides up and back down the canyon Jared, Jordan, and Richard arrived back home at 10:00 p.m. starved.  They all went to Panda for a late night dinner.  Richard worried all night how he was going to get that truck down from the top of the mountain and fixed for scout camp on Monday.  The next morning after making many calls a solution was found and he and I and a spare tire we found out came off the truck of the Big O dealers truck went back up the canyon.  Our luck changed and everything worked perfectly to get the spare on, drive down the canyon and then Big O put on four new tires.  They even replaced the system that holds the spare tire.  Apparently in Utah because we use so much salt on our roads these systems corrode.  Chevy, there's a problem.  We're grateful for all the help from everyone to the tire dealer, the guest speaker who picked them up and Brother Karr who brought them home.
