Blow out on Highway 40!!

Leaving the Great Nashville behind we headed towards our next overnight in Little Rock. Since the total drive time was just over 5 hours and a short day, we made the plan to stop in Memphis for lunch. There was a fly in the ointment.  About 40 miles out of Nashville we heard the sonic boom of our left rear tire blowing out. Great!!
An attempt to change the tire ourselves failed when our wrench broke. Enter Triple A Terrence, not only did he change the tire but he defeated the hub lock on our spare which needed a key that of course we didn't have.
The whole mess took an hour. Kudos Terrence. We limped into Memphis in search of a new spare, suffice to say Izzy, got a full new set of tires. The tire place was in the lets say the wrong part of Memphis so we skipped lunch and motored out of there at warp speed. Izzy performed brilliantly in her new shoes, and we were of to Little Rock. The third day of our trip was also the third time we had to overcome a hardship on the road and also the third time we did just that. We treated ourselves to a nights stay at the Capital Hotel in Little Rock Wow what a place!! Among the top 25 Hotels in the country this place was incredible. The pub, CBG, was awesome, and we toasted Terrence and Izzy Isuzu for getting us through the day, the rooms were super fancy, and the Hotel provided not just a robe but slippers too.

Off  to Oklahoma City tomorrow, here's hoping it's an uneventful leg.
