    So first long haul solo, right smack into the storm. I wanted to stay in Iowa till everything cleared, dispatch said the worst was already north. Ended up in Adrian Mo and got stuck in town trying to find a place to park. Got unstuck by dumping the airbags and locking in the diffs then rocking it. Hiway 71 south in Mo, is impassible. No plows. Movie night tonight, maybe two lane blacktop, as a small junkyard next to me has a half dozen 55 chevs out back.

    Thanks you made my decision to hole up in springfield the right one. I had to go up state 13 and 7 to 71.. just heard they closed I44 between here and Joplin..

    Now if your trick to get unstuck would work for me.. who would have thunk a 3" curb would stop a truck...
