First let me say the bugs were non existant for me, I had my wife as bait and it worked like a charm.  LOL.  The weather was ok except for the Thunder storm Sat. night/Sun morning.  I didn't hear it but everyome woke up a little bit wet.  Matt slept in his car for half the night.  We stayed around till about noon today and by that time the sun was out and the camping gear had dried for the most part. 

We headed from the camp ground into Huntsville to meet up with my Parents for lunch at Kelseys.  Not before having a shower of course.  Let me say that the showers at Pog Lake are outstanding!!!!  Lots of hot water and very clean.

So lets jump ahead to our drive from Huntsville to Scarborough.  We are headed South on HWY 11 and of course we had the music up and the windows down, enjoying our ride when all of a sudden I start feeling a slight vibration.  Nothing to worry about I will check it out at the next stop.  We continue, but the vibration is getting worse and worse, and its coming from the back end.  So I quickly pull into the first gas station I could find.  Quickly look under the car to make sure nothing was dragging, nothing was.  I get out to inspect the wheels and thats when I found 2 broken wheel studs on my left rear wheel.  Lets just say it was about to come completely off.  Got out the jack, lifted the car and tightened the 2 remaining nuts and very gingerly made my way home on the back roads. 

Well it looks as if the tire shop either didn't tighten up the nuts or drasticly over tightened them.  Lets just say that they are getting a big piece of my mind tomorrow.  I am just finished up unpacking the car and about to take a couple pic's of the damage.  I think the seats for the wheel nuts are now oval and possibily need to have the rim replaced.  What a mess. 

One bonus is we spotted a Moose on the side of highway 60 and we able to get a couple great pictures.

After all was said and done, the wife and I had a great weekend.  Sorry we didn't hang with the group but we needed the time to relax away from everything. 

Pic's to follow.
