Day 18
July 7th, 2008
Current Location: Moose Jaw
Today was a somewhat frustrating day. The day had begun pretty well. Our host for the night, Anne made us a pretty good breakfast in the morning. After that we left for Moose Jaw at around 8:30am. We were going at a pretty good pace when all of a sudden the rear wheel of the van got flat. After changing the tire, we drove to Moose Jaw to find a replacement for it. We initially went to Kal Tire. They were the tire store that were told to go if we ever had a flat. Then it turned out that our tire type was too new and thus they didn’t have one in stock (we’re driving a silver 2008 Dodge Caravan). Then I phoned a couple of tire shop
s in town and I pretty much got the same response. Then I finally called one that said that they might have some in stock. After driving to that store they later told Brett and I that they old had used ones. They recommended that we go to a Dodge dealership to see if they have some new ones. When we reached the dealership they told us that they don’t carry that tire in stock. Brett and I thought that this was weird because you would think that a Dodge dealership would have tires for its 2008 models in stock. Then we went to the tire store that said that they had a used version. It turned out that they didn’t actually have a used tire that meet our specifications. Finally we went to the tire store that was next door to that one and they had the tire in stock that we needed.
