A few pics of my situation right now

[Tobin S.]

The first pic is of a truck that is stuck in the snow and blocking my only way out of the this truck stop. I have no idea how long it will take for help to get here. First they have to just make it out here and then they have to navigate this clusterfuck of a truck stop to get back to the guy. The second pic is of the entrance to the place taken a half hour ago.

1. Stay warm, and look out for zombies.

A lot of those zombie movies start out with folks being stranded at a truck stop!

:hi:

2. No worries

They sell zombie detectors in the truck stop and I've got my tire billy to deal with any who might want to try something.

4. Actually, it's an abominable snowclusterfuck is what it is

I'm getting reports that the roads are are passable now, but I can't get out there to run on them.

5. Where are you?

At least you are stuck at a rest stop, not out on the highway like happened to so many around here last week... Stay warm.

6. I'm in Lebanon, Indiana about 25 miles north of Indianapolis on I-65

Yeah, I guess that's one good thing. I'm at a place where I can get food and rest easy. I barely made it out of Chicago yesterday. It's not nearly as bad here as it is up that way.

7. Also important...you can gas up your truck.

Lots of people around here got stranded last week after sitting in traffic for 5-10 hrs and having their gas run out. I'm sure its no fun for you, but you'll have some nice stories about your "adventure"...:)

9. I was thinking of you this morning, Tobin!

Just about to post a "has anybody heard from Tobin" thread, thinking that you and your truck might well be stuck in this massive mess somewhere.
I am glad that at least you're at a rest stop. Hope you can get rolling soon... Stay safe and warm.
