Tricky Trailer Troubles Cost Us Four Hours Yesterday

Today’s Journey

After picking up this load in Lexington yesterday, I discovered that the trailer had a problem with it’s brake lights.

By the time a service truck arrived and spent about 20 minutes finding and fixing the problem, four hours had been lost!

We were only able to drive about 36 miles to the Mount Sterling Pilot Travel Center where, fortunately, they had some parking available.

At least we’ve got a beautiful day of driving weather to enjoy the scenery of West Virginia and Maryland.
