Upon further inspection, Hubby discovered the wheel problem was, in fact, brakes. A chunk of metal from the brake was jammed inside. He managed to loosen it up, so we decided, since it wasn’t bearings, to find a repair shop locally to take it to. After several calls, we discovered Miracle Motors in Macclenny about 15 miles away. We packed up everything, trailer and horses, because we didn’t want to leave the horses alone in a strange place. At the shop, they took the wheel apart and it was determined we needed lots of new parts we couldn’t get on a Saturday, so they fixed it so we could drive without parts flying around, but the trailer wouldn’t have brakes until it was fixed. We arranged to come back on Tuesday, and returned to the campsite, having conveniently avoided a rainstorm that started after we packed up the horses and ended before we got back, so the horses stayed dry. The temps dropped dramatically by this evening, and for some reason we felt very tired from getting up early so many days in a row, so we relaxed watching movies for the rest of the day (we had restocked our DVR while we were in DC). Weather supposed to be cool and clear tomorrow, so we’re planning on getting a ride in. Had a client call a few days ago wanting to get together, so she’s flying into Jacksonville to meet with us. Found a boarding stable convenient to the airport location, so we’ll be moving over there tomorrow afternoon.
