An upcoming voyage to Atlanta
#3
Had an interesting trip there.. I was in the passing lane doing about 75 just passing a semi when the right rear tire decided to spontaneously shread itself while I had a cup of hot coffee in my hand.. Two extremely lucky things occurred . First I lived through it without shatting myself  and  then about 20 minutes later one of Georgia's 511 roadside service drivers stopped and helped me change the tire not to mention the shear luck of even having a spare with air. First time in a long time I didn't take all my tools along so the 511 driver was a life saver .
On the way back we got to watch a non-stop lighting show nearly the entire way to Columbia .
I can't recall any period in my entire life of seeing so much lightning with so many huge bolts of lightning directly in front of me.. it was like driving through a strobe lighted highway.  Wheww..tiring to say the least.. lol
