Well, here we are... on the road... or is it beside the road?
Made it as far as Lethbridge. Heading down into the valley the right tag axle wheel that we had been nursing along since Nanton, totally locked up, sending out smoke behind us.
A call to AMA, and a huge tow truck later, we were at the repair shop, to find out two hours later, that the problem we thought was a brake problem was actually the wheel bearing, toasted. It took quite a bit of work to get it apart.
So we are camped here in the industrial area of north Lethbridge, until Monday when the parts (hopefully) will arrive, so we can pay our bill, and be on the road again. Caleb Ethan and I walked to the Walmart Supercentre that is about 3km away, and then took a cab back with enough groceries to wait out the weekend. It's going to be quite peaceful here, since we have no way of traveling around, so we'll sit, in the rain, and hang out.
That's all the news for now, but I'll add more to the blog tomorrow.
