Day 56 – Aug 31Left Sand Dunes NP, had flat tire, overnight in Raton NM



Today we head back home to Texas. First stop Raton, NM.

On our way back to the freeway just as we went over the top of the mountain the trucks low tire pressure monitor sounded off. Finally after about five miles we were able pull over. We heard the tire hissing the slow leak even after the tire was all changed and we were ready to take off again.

We made it to the next rather large town of Raton in time to make it to the local tire store before they closed. Tire was not fixable, no they did not have a replacement, no there is no other place in town open, yes they had a used but not rv weight rated tire.
So we had then put that one on just in case and rode the rest of the way home on the spare.
