Default 2 1/2 days to get home!

Just home from Cambridge. We got to the Bay Bridge and the rear axle on the trailer broke off the trailer and took the fenders and steps with it. After straping it up and spending 5 hr at a "welding shop" we were on the road again. After a couple hours we broke a hub. No one has an 8 lug hub at 9 pm so we drove another 150 miles on 3 wheels. Once in Cleveland, Tyler called George (Grumpy) Eisenhardt. George drove 50 miles to pick me up at the Holiday Inn and spent the morning getting parts and helping me get running again.

Thank you George!
