Very happy to read this good news. I was afraid to open todays update because I was afraid it would be a sad ending.
Great news. He walked a long ways. Way to go.......
Good article anchorman. When I updated the site I was going off a link to a little blurb my wife had sent me. It is nice to see the actual details of his situation.
Wow, that's an amazing story.
There is a current thread on Chuck Norris jokes...this driver lived and survived a CN-like story.
Maybe along the lines of....."This Oregon trucker would rather go hungry for 3 days in the wilderness than break the seal and have the load rejected!"....?
