Bill N.Y.Nice pictures and great commentary. Thanks for sharing.
I have a question.
quote:
Our home and toad. After we got back on the road we were fighting yet another windstorm. See that tire on top of the bus? We've carried the spare on top like that for for three years. On the way out of Hawthorne a jealous wind picked it up and bounced it off the car -- poor toad! Poor State Farm.
You carry your tire up there... loose? Does anyone else do this too? I would have thought that you had a tire hold down attached to it.

I was riding my motorcycle down Main St in Newport, NH when coming from the other direction I saw a Tractor Trailer bob-tailing. Something didn't look right and then I saw the spare tire bouncing along next to it coming right at me! The tractor hit a pot hole and it bounced just enough to dislodge the spare which apparently wasn't tied down.
I made an evasive maneuver and got around the erratically bouncing tire, but when it turned to see its trajectory it was heading for a house with two small children playing outside. The tire literally bounced over them, hit the house caving the wall partially in, then ricocheted off the house, again just missing the children.
I'm not sure what the force of a two hundred pound tire traveling thirty miles an hour is, but I was very relived it missed those kids.
Having already admitted on this site that I lost a whole boat at a stoplight once, I'm guilty of challenging Murphy myself.
Tie everything down, twice! No, chain it!!

carlflackJust about 7 P.M. here in balmy south Florida. Although rain was predicted for this afternoon all we got were clouds, 74 degrees, no snow, no ice, but a fantastic turkey dinner, lots of love and friendship with relatives and neighbors. So here is wishing lots of the same to all of you....................

Moonbeam-ExpressCarl,
We got the rain, but balmy too, here in west central Florida. It was a great Christmas day and now New Year is just around the corner. Who can believe it's about to be 2010?!?

Ol' BetsyOur Barth came with a spare tire on top with no tie downs and we've had one up there ever since. Never went nowhere no how before now, didn't even move, but it will be tied down from now on. I think that the bounce off our toad slowed it down.
