"They let you go right into the mess,"

My son and I got stuck in a 1 hour traffic jam on an interstate last summer. Big crash shut down every lane both ways in the mountains of TN.

I had packed a cooler of lunch meat, bread and chips. We just turned the truck off and had lunch. We had a case of water bottles too. One or two truckers give us a thumbs up. The all declined a sandwich waved at them.

I had my old truck break down a few times 200-600 miles from home. I keep a case of water bottles in the truck along with winter gear and blanket during cold months. Luckily I always got my truck of the interstate and just took a nap till morning.
