    About like my trip to the Smoky Mountains to see my relatives who live way back in the woods.

    There is only about 10 dirt roads with the sign TREGO and which one do I pick.
    I got so lost up in the hills and it was getting real dark and I was getting real afraid being alone on this trip.

    Finally a man came along on a horse and got me straightened out...WHEW!!
    Was I happy to see my Aunt and Uncle that evening! lol:biggrin_25524:

    It's pretty bad when you ask a Bear where a certain hospital is located (dad was having surgery) and he has no clue where it's at.

    think about it driver. as drivers we get approached all the time by people selling something including themselves. he probably thought this and that's why he ignored you. yes it was rude and i wouldn't done it but he did. on working for crete, i can find many better reasons not to work for them.
