Blowout



In order to move from Durham to Beaufort, we had to make many trips back and forth (4 hours each way!) towing the trailer. On one of these trips I was heading back to Durham by myself when just as it was getting dark, near the booming metropolis of Kinston, NC, the bearings on one of the wheels siezed up and the tire tire stopped turning. These pictures show the results. Fortunately, I had a spare tire, some tools, some grease, and was able to jury rig something that allowed me to get up to about 40mph. I finally made it home and then a few days later bought new bearings from Overton's!
