Your story reminded me of a similar thing I experienced. Way back in the earlier 1970's I had a 1970 3/4 ton Ford pickup and a 11' slide on camper. First longer trip, headed for Hershey, PA. Stopped at Columbus, Ohio for gas. Heard a rattle in the hub cap, pulled it off and found a broken off wheel stud. Didn't think too much about it, there were still 7 of the 8 holding the wheel on. We drove on the Pennsy Turnpike 70 mph amid a lot of traffic. In the middle of the afternoon our 3 or 4 year old at the time daughter opened the sliding window in the rear of the cab and wanted to stop. We told her and her year younger brother to lay down and sleep. But she was ADAMANT that we stop! We pulled off at Seven Springs Resort. I thought "while I'm stopped better check the lugs on that wheel". To my utter HORROR I found THREE MORE lugs broke off! We were very close to losing a wheel with that top heavy camper on the back! It was only the insistance of our little girl that kept us from a major wreck! We had to wait a day (it was the weekend) for a service truck to come, pull the axle and replace the lugs. Like you, I've prayed a bunch thanking God for averting a near disaster- and traded for a 1 ton '74 pickup.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
