The 7th was the first day of Chris' vacation. We decided to do a whole family camping trip, all by ourselves. We loaded the Envoy down with everything we thought we could possibly need for a two night stay in SilverJack. We left at 2:00p only to be home by 7:30p :(
Here is what went wrong:
About half way up (all gravel roads) we got a flat tire. Not just any flat tire....we were on an incline, trying to change the tire with a jack that wouldn't pick the car up, a spare that didn't have any air pressure in it, on a road that had been sprayed with mag chloride followed by a rain storm.
Thanks to two passing Jeeps (one had a floor jack and the other an air compressor) we were saved. The boys learned an important lesson about praying when you need help.
 |
| This storm just missed us while the tire was being put on but on we forged. We thought nothing was going to stop us from having a good camping trip. |
 |
| This is the campsite we normally use. Note the chair that has been carved out of a tree stump. |
 |
| Note the chair here.... |
 |
| Need I say more? |
 |
| A later inspection at home revealed that all our chairs, tent, and table were covered in mag chloride. Not to mention it got in our cooler with our food. Its a good thing we came home. |
