An unexpected stop!!  As we were preparing to leave Sheridan, WY on Tuesday Bernie noticed that there was oil on the hub of our left front wheel...the same one that had been repaired in Clear Lake, IA.  This was not a good thing!!  Billings, MT was 112 miles to the north, and we found the Freightliner shop there and called ahead.  I cannot say enough good about the Service Tech and the repair department of I-State Truck.  They got us in, diagnosed the problem was in the bearings (not repaired right the first time??) and they could repair it there!!  As our luck would have it, about 3 miles away was a wonderful KOA park where we could stay while repairs were made.  We hadn't planned to stop in Billings for 2 days, but it has been a good stop.  We had dinner at Rex in historic downtown Billings, and had enough ribs leftover for dinner the next day....m-m-m-m, so good.  Now Sweet Baby is all ready and repaired, and we will get on the road on Thursday morning......
