No such thing as coincedence....This is copy and pasted. I had posted it on my Masonic Wive’s site last night but thought you might enjoy it. What an adventure.
“The Lord does work in mysterious ways! Coming home tonight over the Big Horns was a nightmare. Snow on top of nasty ice and pretty good winds. We were creeping along the curves on the downgrades and as we came around a particularly sharp curve we saw the back of a semi where the back of a semi shouldn’t be. There was a small pullout on our side of the road and we stopped. Ken grabbed his super bright flashlight with the strobe and made his way to the cab of the truck. It was rough going, especially in his Grand Lodge uniform pants and dress shoes. The snow had drifted pretty deeply and he had to cross what little fence the truck hadn’t taken out, but he kept floundering through until he reached the cab, where one very happy and relieved truck driver jumped out and enveloped him in a huge bear hug.
In very broken English (the gentleman was from a Middle Eastern nation) he told Ken that he’d been there for over 2 hours and we were the only vehicle that had come up or gone down. The cab of that truck was buried deep into trees, but the driver was unhurt. Ken tried to talk him into coming down the mountain with us, but he was going to stay with his truck. Ken made sure that he had food, water, and the guy was running the truck so it was warm in the cab, and they walked back to our truck. He kept asking Ken if we knew where was to send help, which we assured him we did. I also asked him a couple of times to ride down with us, but he declined. So we resumed our 10 pucker factor ride, creeping down. There is no cell service up there, and not much until you hit Greybull so Ken had told him it would be a couple more hours until help reached him. I had 911 dialed into my phone, ready to hit “send” at the first hint of signal.
But when we were almost all the way down, a car was starting up. Our headlights hit the side of that car and it was a Highway patrolman, heading up to check for anyone stranded up there. So Ken flagged him down and the first thing the trooper asked him was “How far up?” Ken told him what the vehicle was, what the nearest mile marker was, that the driver was uninjured, but that that truck was buried. The next thing the trooper said was, “Hey, it’s the Badgets!” Turns out we’ve known the guy almost since we moved here! So we warned him to be careful up there, that it was nasty slick. I’ll say an extra prayer for Blaine’s safety.
So you see, if Tammy Ross Smith had corrected me snd said the Jobies event was today, not yesterday, we’d probably have stayed home today and prepared for Monday’s trip instead of going. If we’d been further up the mountain and met Blaine on his way up, the chances of all of us being able to stop safely on the steep, super icy grade would have been greatly reduced, instead of us meeting down where it was dry and having time to give him full information. And yes, even without us Blaine would have found the truck, but not likely as long as he was driving uphill, not the way it was off the road and the angle it was at, although he would have seen him on his way back down. And the way it all played out, Blaine was able to know ahead of time the whole situation and able to let dispatch know before he even got to the site what was going on. See? The Lord does work in mysterious ways!!”
Beautiful ... if you don't have to drive on it!
Zero, no one else was dumb enough to be out on that road
@Blooie
Oh my, sure glad you didn't break or re-break anything.
Clearly you need wheelchair and a nice nurse to care for you. Not safe on your own.
What a Story you have to tell now!Ok, went to the orthopedic office. The x-ray looked the same except this time you could see the calcification of the fractureso it's repairing nicely. Doc wants me to do therapy....so got that arranged.
Left the office and went to TSC needed a few things. As I was ambiling along, without warning my left hand crutch decided to take a leave of absence. It slipped on the freshly waxed floor and down I went with a hugh crash and thud. Major owiee! Didn't break anything but sure scared the heck outta me. The guy helping carry out my stuff, had a look of terror on his face! (priceless). I just looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to sue TSC". Another customer standing there when I fell, just started laughing when I told him wasn't gonna sue! and she actually picked up the other crutch that went flying away.
Got a little scape on my elbow that was bleeding but other than that I was ok!
I will be heavy into the pain pills tonight though, it is hurting more than usual.![]()
It was beautiful, but man, it was treacherous.
And he can have my wheelchair!! I don’t want it anymore!!
I’d have lost the remote!!!
Safely in Rock Springs. Ken already left for his meeting in Green River.
Kelsey, I made a couple of videos for you that I’ll upload this weekend when I have my computer. Today was weird!! Odd storm clouds, and at one point we were driving through heavy snow that was literally coming sideways.....and the sun was shining!! Tried to video that too but don’t know if it came out clear enough to see. Driving 70mph, trying to video out of the car window while the snow was blowing at 45mph wasn’t real effective.
I know what you mean about the "sideways" stuff - weird - can have 2 inches high at one point and 3 ft. high at another. Quite an adventure to shovel once things slow down.
An ya'll think I'm accident prone!!!?

Oh, I didn’t word that very well, did I? Of course Ken was driving, not me!![]()
Ok, I'll give ya a pass.![]()
