Oh boy. New tires... And shocks.

Oh boy. We pulled into Beaver, Utah off I-15 to get gas and to turn west to Great Basin national park.

We noticed the front tire had a real problem. See pic below.



We had planned to replace the tires this summer anyway and this option was better than getting stuck out in middle of Nevada or hava blowout. So off the tires come. ALL 6 OFTHEM.


Charli has the front tires off here.


Turns out the shocks were bad and making the tires bounce.Plus 7 yr old tires the inside bands were cracked and expanding.



So now we have new shocks and new tires.
A rather expensive day (don't ask) however we are fortunate this didn't happen on the road.

Cars Cars Cars !!


En route home today 500 miles but early start home by dinner.

While out cycling this weekend near cape Arago we stumbled upon a car show at Shore Acres state park. Well stumbled isn't the right term....Itseemed lit about a million old cars zoomed past us on their way to the show.

We biked over the the location and walked around in our bike outfits.
Here are a couple pix.
