    In two weeks, 3,000 miles have been put on my butt crossing the midwest. 30 miles from Omaha a strange thing happened. Going 70 mph hauling a 30 ft. gooseneck loaded with a skid steer and all the attachments owned, a crack was heard. Looked back to see a wheel and tire from the trailer in turbo speed flying across the interstate. It seems the wheel broke all the lugs from the wheel assembly and decided to pursue it's own uncharted path. Limped into Omaha, unloaded skid steer and trailer and went to relax. I have no idea what happened, but since no one was hurt I am feeling much better now. If anyone knows what causes this, I would love to know. Otherwise it was a freak event in scrapping that will reveal itself someday.
