This one is king...several years ago we traveled with a truck and cab over camper. Often times pulling our boat to the lakes. We usually traveled with really good friends who had the same set up. Well...other husband couldn't go one Friday, so my brave husband said 'no problem!' I'll take the 2 wife's, 4 boys (age 10-14) and the dog(German Shepard)and we'll go up on Friday and you join us onSaturday. We're half way to our destination in a VERY remote section of road(top of the world, az- real place!!) when we had a blowout. For whatever reason we didn't have a spare. This was before cell phones, so my friend and I go to the closest house, borrow phone and call for tow truck. Because there are 6 of us, tow truck tpdriver calls sheriff. Sheriff takes wife's and kids to motel, tow truck takes husband, dog, truck and boat to tire place to spend the night and get new tire in morning. Little did husband realize, driver had dropped him off under a billboard sign. All night long the pigeons would land on the cab over where my husband was squeezed on the dinette/bed with a full grown German Shepard and yes, all night long the dog barked and growled at the pigeon feet on the roof!!! Just thinking of this story still brings tears to my eyes just thinking about the 'pigens'....good end to the story though. We made it to the lake, had called the tire company/store that sold us the tires...they paid for the tow, the hotel, the breakfast out, the new tire and sent a driver up the next day with a matching tire and rim since my husband drove with oversized tires.
