Road Trip!!

[Jager]

Good morning 986 forum. Today my goal is to make it across the border of Michigan into the small town of New Buffalo. I will be crossing Missouri, Illinois, and a small part of Indiana. Always an adventure!

It is HOT here in Springdale... Record high temperatures are hitting this area. It was 111° just down the road at Fort Smith and 109° here in Fayetteville. Arizona heat has nothing over the temperatures here when you add this humidity.

Reflecting upon yesterday’s flat tire fun… I have made this trip a couple times over the years. Although it’s been quite a few years since the last time I’ve made the journey. The big difference now is that I am pack’n a Blackberry and computer with broadband card. While sitting in Nowhere Oklahoma yesterday, I was able to search the web for tire retailers and then make a phone call (Sprint coverage has been great the entire route so far). At the other end, the Sales Associate did a warehouse search and within minutes I had a set of tires lined-up. What would I have done 20 years ago? Probably find the nearest town, grab a phone book and make a few hundred phone calls, and then wait a few days to get the tires delivered.
