Stranger and "Da Boys" Back home safe.

Trip there smooth and uneventful. Coming back had a bit of a heart stopper..... Topped a hill running 70 m.p.h. and about 150 ft. ahead ALL TRAFFIC STOPPED! (No patrol slowing anyone down.) 2 cars and a semi behind us. I yelled at Joe (The Driver) "BRAKES"!!! He did, and when we stopped and the smoke settled, we was cock eyed on the highway with about 5 ft. to spare! The 2 cars behind us went to either side of us and the semi repeated what we did. After we all caught our breath we proceeded with traffic and a bit over a mile we saw a old refurbished (?) School bus sitting half on and half off the highway with the front drivers side wheel missing. (That must a been a ride in its self.)

We stopped at the next rest area, regained our composer, said a prayer, checked over the pull truck, trailer, and tie downs on Maters Cousin. All good !!! The rest of the trip went well!!!

Oh, The weekend, reunion, show was FANTASTIC!!!!
