Charlotte/Fort Mill KOA SC

What happened to the tire?  The entire thing came off.  It was the tire we bought just before we left.  Ruined the rim.  While I was on the phone with Good Sam road assistance this DOT worker came up to the window and said it would take 45 minutes minimum for them to get to us and he could change the tire for us.  Check out his nifty mat that inflated rather than using a jack.  We were back on our way in record time.  Back tracked to Wal Mart but they didn't have the right size tire so we decided to chance the drive without a spare.  Spent the afternoon tracking down a tire.  Finally found on at a Tractor/Trailer store.  All is well, just need to put the new tire on and use one of the older ones for a spare.

KOA office is a store with it's own gas station.  Also has a bar and a Blimpie.  We are just a few miles from the NC border.

Sites are run of the mill.  We do have trees and a picnic table.  Too bad it is so blazing hot and humid that we will never be able to sit out and enjoy the air.  We are both ready to get out of this humidity.  There is no place like home.  As many places as we have been we still love Maine the best.
