Six Months in a Leaky Boat!

So we lost a day of driving after we hit a shitstorm in Pittsburgh. The snow was so heavy we decided it was unsafe to continue so we (with difficulty) made it to a rest area to wait it out with a bunch of semi's. We slept in the van with a small propane heater and the next morning we woke up to two feet of snow piled up around us. After a few hours of listening to the truckers complain on the radio we decided to make a move and the boys started digging a trench towards the off ramp to get us out. 3 hours later we are sitting behind a semi that is stuck not 50 feet from the clean plowed highway, with a tow truck full of simpletons who managed to get themselves stuck trying to barrel through the 4 foot deep wall made by the plows. We watched for 2 hours as these assholes tried to pull themselves out using their winch attached to first a lamppost-their line snapped. Then these einsteins decided to hook the chain onto this poor little sapling that I wouldnt have trusted to pull my little self up the hill let alone a five thousand pound truck. And they did all this without even trying to reverse relying solely on their winch and their pea-sized brains. You should have heard us cursing their unbelievable stupidity as we sat behind them at their mercy. Then one of them comes up and says, "Don't worry we called the boss and he's coming to get us out." As he is walking away Karels dad asked how long it would be and he replied "Two hours." That was the straw that broke the camels back. The boys had tied some ropes around the wheels earlier to get some traction and we decided to say fuck it and reversed back up the off ramp and left through the on ramp. At this point its about 5pm so we motored through West Virginia and Virginia and Came to a rest stop in North Carolina at about 4am.
