May 4th - 6th
We were on our way to Hearst Castle (we thought). We were advised not go go over the Grapevine, but rather go towards San Bernadino. After we turned on IH-10 onto State Road 30, the left front brake really started smoking.
This was leftover from having a grease job before leaving home. They were told not to grease the brake calipers, but did anyway. The right one froze up before getting home. This one waited 1,300 miles. Good Sam was great in sending a wrecker. The driver was able to back off the pressure and stayed with us to the repair facility. It would have taken him several hours to hook up, and we wanted to avoid being towed if at all possible. We were sent to a truck brake repair shop in the Redlands. They were great. We were back on the road on the 6th, and drove to Stockton, CA.
