Ran up on this the other month. Swerved to miss some fallen rocks in the road but the pickup truck behind me hit one and lost a tire. The driver made it to this place. I asked the older women to pull to a flat spot near the Texaco signs and I would change the tire for her.
What a trip, she was drunk and had two dogs and a pistol on the seat. I wanted to do my good deed for the day and get away from this lady. 95 degrees. I was lucky I didn't get crushed, when I put the truck off the jack it started to roll. The lady had not put it in park before she got out. I was sitting on my butt holding onto the truck and yelling to my sister to jump in and put it in park.
The lady wanted to go another few hundred miles but I told her to go to the next town, spend the night and get a new rim and spare before going on. I wanted to make sure that I was not behind this drunk and took off.
I would have liked to have met the owner of this property but I was glad to get out of there with a few pictures and all my limbs. Traveling can be a real adventure, you never know what you will see or what can happen. I was pulled over buy a nice police officer a few hours later coming into MT. at 36 miles per hour. Did not even know. I was already stopped at a gas station and my sister was out the car headed to the restroom when I saw the lights. Just a pleasant warning to slow down.
