Being stuck in the ice on I-40, we got moving, after several tries.......went a few miles, then stopped again!
Once again....after sitting there several hours, traffic started moving. but we were stuck!
Jimmy tried rocking, back and forth, a hundred times, spinning the back tires so much that they were smokin'!!
We finally got to a spot where we could just stop and the rest of the traffic could go by, so we decided to stop until daylight. We put it in park and went to sleep about 2. When we woke up....the same cars that were next to us when we went to sleep, were still there the next morning! No one had moved!
The snow was nine inches deep, so Jimmy got out with the cat litter scoop, a screwdriver and a Tupperware container to get the snow and ice broken up and cleared away from the tires. (I was afraid he'd have a heart attack!) Nikki loved the snow,.......Shadow was not too thrilled.
Once we finally got moving, we made it to the Petro Truckstop, in West Memphis, Arkansas....pulled up to the fuel island, trurned the bus off, then tried to start it again to move up a little....and it wouldn't start!!! Out of Fuel!!Whew! What a trip!
Anyway, breakfast, then headed home!(click on the picture to make it bigger)
