Welcome to Mendota CA (or, Horror on I-5)

Six days after I got back from San Diego Jen and I loaded up a U-Haul truck destined for a one way trip to my new home, LA. Somewhere along the way the rear driver's side tire blew out. Luckily there was an exit coming up just as the truck started to swerve side to side. As well, good thing we had a GPS handy to let us know where the hell we were when we called the U-Haul hot-line. Talk about being stuck in the middle of nowhere. It looked like No Country For Old Men. From the time we pulled into that exit to the time we were back on I-5 took about 2 and a half hours. I'm just glad we made it out there safe.
