Truckee, California aka Middle of Nowhere

So, for those of you who don’t know, the Bug job didn’t work out. So we are on our way back to Rexburg. On our way up, we stopped in Hughson, CA to visit Grant’s family of whom I have come to absolutely love. Shout out to the Boice Family. After about 1 day, we left to come up the Idaho Falls because Grant got a job as a lifeguard and swim instructor at the new YMCA in Idaho Falls. So we left at the ugly hour of 7 am. We were on our way, off to a new and exciting adventure. Well, we hid a road block. Literally. We blew a tire three hours in. We put on our spare, which was on its last leg, and headed down the road a few miles to a little tiny town named Truckee, California. Luckily there was an auto shop at the first exit we saw so we pulled off and talked to the man in charge. Blah blah we needed the rim we left on the side of the road…bad news. Everything is closed and no rim for us. Two days later, we call a cab and go to get the rim and tire and ten minutes later we are on the road with a $900 hole in our wallet. Advice: Never get stuck in Truckee California. Ever!
