mini-muffin Posted June 10, 2008 Share #5 Posted June 10, 2008 Good luck I saw some of the video they were showing with all that flooding. Hope you can get home safely. Hope the rest of the folks heading back are ok. Especially the ones heading back to the flooded states. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy why do you have such a guilty conscious. Obviously I was thinking it is a real pain to be stuck for hours on a highway not knowing when you would make it home (been there many times with bad snow storms) Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH Truck Guy Posted June 14, 2008 Share #20 Posted June 14, 2008 we r headin west trying to get back home to MO from maintenance day...we are now stuck on 40 they detoured us See what happens when you let Cindy drive....:stirthepot::rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinderella Posted June 14, 2008 Share #21 Posted June 14, 2008 See what happens when you let Cindy drive....:stirthepot::rotf: thanks you for saying that because that has finally prompted me to tell the whole story... we dont usually go this way..we usually stay north and end up coming across missouri on 36 from hanibal. Someone had the bright idea to cut down and take 70 across because it was a little less hilly and wouldnt eat so much gas pulling the bike on trailer....... well for 6 hrs we hardly use any gas, did we dale???:rotfl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
