It was supposed to be a six hour drive home from Kikomun to Edmonton. But as I was driving on the ring road east of Calgary, we heard a strange scraping sound from the trailer. I pulled over immediately and was horrified to see that one side of the hitch had come unattached from the trailer. It took three stressful hours to figure out what to do and have it towed. It's now at a welder's shop in a small town outside of Calgary having its frame completely rebuilt. Not exactly a happy ending to our trip but if the hitch had come completely detached, the consequences could have been horrific so I guess we're lucky it wasn't worse than it was.
