Reply #40: This just sounds too bizarre

[Horse with no Name]

even for my tinfoil hat.
To start with, most bases (even abandoned) are near to towns. Why would they have to drive two hours to shower and why a truck stop?
Why not put these guys up in hotels since it is indefinite?
The other thing...these truckers are paid by the mile, so I highly doubt you would have that many people sitting there for 4 days without a load to haul--they wouldn't be getting paid.
Like I said--I can't even think of a "huge" abandoned military base in Texas--at least not yet anyway.:shrug:
This story has a funny smell....but dang good fodder for a novel.
