back and forth

This morning we got up early as we had an 8:00 appointment at the shop that made our automatic leveling system, Quadra Big Foot.  They updated our system and repaired some non-working switches (at no charge).  Then as we were getting ready to leave they saw a puddle of brake fluid under one of our trailer tires.  When they got onto a creeper and rolled under they saw that it was coming from one of our brake connections.  I got on the phone and called the shop that worked on our wheels over the past couple of days and they told us to bring it back to their shop so they could make the necessary repairs.  Since we didn't have any brakes on the trailer I was glad that this part of the country is relatively flat with no mountains to make a down grade.  On the drive back the 20+/_ miles with just the truck brakes it was still difficult to stop so I had to drive slow enough and give myself enough time to slow down for stop lights.

They made the necessary repairs (at no charge) and by noon we were on our way back to our campground.  Now we will rest for the remainder of the day and tomorrow morning head toward Missouri with one overnight stop in Casey, IL.
