I headed out of Sarasota with my camper this late morning looking forward to resuming my wanderings. After I stopped to grab lunch I noticed the front of my camper was sitting a bit lower than usual…

Looked under the back of the car and saw the trailer hitch cracking/sheering apart where it is bolted to the frame of the car.

Ouch.

Fortunately when I took it to a local mechanic, he said the frame was fine and it would be easy to just replace the hitch with a newer, stronger one.

Part ordered, on the way this weekend. Hopefully I’ll be back on the road early next week.

Maybe it’s a sign for me to hang around a bit longer and enjoy a few more coastal sunsets like the one I saw this evening.

I suppose I can suspend my wanderlust just a bit longer for such beauty. : )
