By time Kevin got to Pittsburgh he was looking for a trailer shop to buy some sway bars for the trailer as it was swinging all over the place. Trying to find all the parts he needed was quite hairy in a congested city like this. The trailer place did not have all the parts he needed and it took several stops to locate them all, next the hitch had to be replaced as it was just about ready to pull the bumper off. Then there was trouble with the spoiler. so it was a very unpleasant first two days on the road. It is always worse on your own and I was getting concerned here as each time Kevin called the news was more bad stuff. I am not sure how Kevin always manages to pull just a bit more stamina out of his hat but he does and he managed to get all the parts and get it fixed.
I think the next day was not that bad except for it getting colder and colder and it was also horribly windy. it seems like the days merge a bit, but by Thursday we had problems again, Kevin had a blow out in the tire and he was on a 2 lane highway in Canada and the temperatures were going down, that night it was -50f. Thank goodness 2 local drivers stopped and offered help.After the wheel was fixed it kept getting hot so Kevin had to do 10 miles and check it 10 more miles and check it. It was so cold and windy one could freeze to death.
I don't really want to whine and whine all through this post as here in writing just does not do justice to the torture Kevin was enduring.I felt really bad as I was nice and warm and safe here in the house.
Kevin left for Regina this morning,that will put him just about half way there.We don't have many pictures due to what has been going on, lets hope the trailer decides to behave and Kevin gets a chance to enjoy some of the scenery.The next big city will be Edmonton, we don't expect for him to get there tonight, especially as the weather is so brutal.
