The water level was the lowests I have seen it at Bluegrass since 2004 or 2005. I like it better when the water level is high.

Now I have to figure out where to get two new wheels/tires for my boat trailer and how to fix a badly bent fender.

I dropped off the end of the concrete ramp at Bluegrass the other evening and on my way home the wheel fell apart. Litterally. The metal that holds the four lug nuts was still attached to the axle but the rest of the wheel had fallen off. I went back this morning and found the wheel/tire laying in the field about 100 yards from the road. And the wheel/tire had rolled most of the way UPHILL on Zoar Church/ Stevenson Station Road. The field right to the North of Kansas road where it goes West off Zoar Church Road.

The wheel still had some water leaking out of the inside of the metal. Seems that the metal was two parts pressed together with a hollow space inbetween. This is where the water had collected over the last 30 + years. I guess eventually the metal rusted on the inside enough that when the wheel dropped off the ramp it weakened the metal on the wheel. I must have hit a hole in the road and that's when the wheel decided to fall apart.

I was lucky that someone stopped to help me. There are still some good people in this world. Lucky that I aired up my spare tire on the trailer.

I need to find two new trailer wheels/tires for my boat trailer. Anyone know of a good place to get trailer tires/wheels at a reasonable price?

I found two trailer tires at Tractor Supply on Morgan but they are two narrow and two small. I need 5.80 x 4 holes wheels. 2 ply Nylon. I'll be shopping around for them today hopefully.

It was two years ago that my boat trailer's axle broke in half. The trailer is getting old. Perhaps it time for a new one. LOL I wonder what a new boat trailer costs these days. Something that will haul a 16 foot long Alumimum flat bottom bass boat.


Just be careful when you back down the ramps. Also the ramps get slick when wet and it's hard to get traction to the back wheels. Now if you have a four wheel drive truck it will be easier to get the trailer tires back up onto the concrete from that big hole at the end of the ramp.
