Baling Wire & Duct Tape!




The old saying that you can fix just about anything with Duct Tape & Baling Wire appears to be true!  While stopping at a rest area down the street from Grave Digger's (The Monster truck) shop, I did my routine walk around of the truck and trailer only to find the 6" exhaust tip on my exhaust system almost touching the ground!  After some careful inspection I found the rubber hanger had snapped and part of the exhaust was hanging down. I found a coat hanger and wired it up the best I could and proceeded to the Grave Digger's shop!  We had a blast at the shop and even got to ride in a monster truck!  From there we traveled north into Virginia to see Virginia Beach which is where we found the use for our duct tape!  Karen found us a campground that had day parking which we "Thought " we could unhook the camper and drive around.  Not so much!  Upon seeing the entrance, we thought the entrance was on the right, when actually it was on the left.  I proceeded to make the right turn into a different part of the park which was a hiking trail portion.  After speaking with the park attendant he said we could go in and make a U turn at the back.  Well, the turn around wasn't designed for 60ft of truck and trailer!!!!!!  We found some tree branches that took a bite out of the top of our rubber roof!  That repair is currently on my list of things to do now!  Moral of this story... ALWAYS have some duct tape/ baling wire and roll with the punches, because in the end it will be these trying times that we remember the most!!!!
