Today was the First equipment problem.
The trailer tire was punctured by a 3/4″ long staple of some sort.
The Doctor Orange tire sealant from Voro Motors did NOT work.
Fortunately, the puncture occurred just 50 meters from the Last Chance Hotel where I had decided to stay for the night in order to catch up on my posts.
It was a VERY MESSY tire fix because of the sealant leaking out all over the inside of the tire, but the motel had a full roll of paper towels. ( Thank you, Brandee!)
After using some of my stove alcohol fuel to clean the tire and tube, the stick-on patch held.
Now it’s off to Avon, Ovando and Seeley Lake.
God is Good!
