KENTUCKY IS BAD LUCK

 We left Clinton, TN headed north on I-75 just past Rocky Top.

And straight on into Kentucky.

                                                    

The roads weren't the best, a bit bumpy. As we went over a bridge we heard a thump and away we went.

There was a terrible storm and a down pour and then that let up. A few miles later David noticed the light was on indicating the cable from the MH to the car was not working. We decided to stop at the  Kentucky Artisan Center in Berea, KY.to check it out. We saw that the  blue cable was disconnected from the MH and it was damaged . When we looked down gasoline was pouring from the gas tank. We had just filled up the tank.

David called 911 for the fire dept and we started taking things out of the MH and putting them in the car. First the kitties, our money, the computers, and other things of importance in case there was a fire. The haz mat fire dept arrived and tried soaking up the gas from the parking lot. Then the police. The kitties were in their carriers an sitting in an air conditioned car while we were outside in 90 degree heat.

The firemen didn't think the MH would catch on fire, so we were relieved about that.

Then the tow truck arrived, but it was too small. Had to get a bigger one.

                   The big tow truck showed up with their own haz mat team since they had to empty out the remainder of the $170 worth of gas we had just put in.

Time to hook up the MH.

Thank you to the wonderful firemen that stayed there through the whole mess to clean up the gas.

And away we go. 

They towed it to the repair facility. There is no telling what this will cost. Just the tow alone is going to be a fortune. We couldn't believe there was a place open in this little town on a SUNDAY.

We were so lucky after all this bad luck. We got a room in a nearby hotel and the kitties were so happy to get out of their carriers. We'll see what happens tomorrow and how soon they might be able to repair the gas tank. It was a small hole, but it will have to take off the gas tank and weld the hole shut.
