It's all of our fears to have tire trouble, or a breakdown on a 'skinny' road.
After my ordeal in Branson, I replenished my road flares with 10 of the long trucker flares, with a spike in the bottom.
I made a tool out of an old blower shaft, I drilled one end, cut a concrete nail and welded the nail to the shaft. This way I can pre-punch a nail sized hole in the asphalt crack, at the side of the road and place the long flare in to so it stands upright. I had shorter chemical flares then, they were extinguished by the heavy rain=laying down.
I also have the reflective trucker triangles. I recommend this to everyone.
Don't those 18 wheelers scare you? They rock the Monte...They are just inches from hitting us at the side of the road.
Enjoy the trip overseas with Shirley
