Ok So we finally got out about quarter to 6pm. Drove a little passed half way and the tire blew--at midnight--in the middle of the freeway--Reed was driving. Discovered we could not get the lug nuts off as the tire iron we had was not the right one. Thanks again Taj Singh. Couple deputy sheriffs and a police officer later we finally had to call a tow truck to get us into town. Dropped the car at NTB Tire and found a motel after a futile attempt to sleep in the car. Got to sleep about 3:30 am. Up and at 'em early the next day. Thanks to the manager at NTB, great guy named Mark, we were back on our way about 11am, a few hundred dollars lighter, however. Jacksonville and a great welcome for Reed about 5 and I might have a line on a place to stay.
