5/9/26. Did I ever tell you about dragging a b*mb 😟

On my way from Nogales AZ to Bullhead City NV to see my Niece, Sharon Marie and have my teeth pulled. I had an issue...

I tied down as normal when I left Nogales.  I have always tied down my 2 - 2 gallon gas cans, 20lb propane tank and 5 gallon diesel fuel can with ratchet straps. I did the same this time but...

At some point in my travels I noticed no one passing me.   Mmmm I'm at about 35 mph at the top of the hill and still no one passing... So I pull off.  As I'm pulling off I hear SOMETHING.  You know that feeling right?

When I walked to the back of Tubby. I was proud to see my rachet straps still holding but nothing was on top of my cargo box!  Yep. I'm dragging 4 gallons of gas, 20lbs of propane and 3 gallons of diesel... BTW I had to abandon on the side of the road one very badly leaking gas can but the rest?  I threw them in Tubby, walked the fur babies and hit the road again. 

This is how I tie them down now.  Hopefully tomorrow I will get the box off.  With a new diesel heater I need a wider box.  Stay Tune.

Bomb averted.

Until we meet again, Linda
