miles and miles. Frantic, the couple called 911. The dispatcher sent a police officer to talk to them. After talking with the couple, the police officer went back to his patrol car and made some calls. He came back to the couple and said “'If you wait right here, the area boss for WYDOT will be right here” (WYDOT being the Wyoming department of transportation). Within 10 minutes they had a convoy of plow trucks.
The couple followed on the bumper of the plow trucks in white out conditions for some 80 miles (and involving 8 different plow trucks).
I was touched by this story. It’s nice to see that there are people out there that recognize the right thing to do when it comes to them. I’m glad that this made some type of headline. Perhaps it will encourage people to realize that good does happen out there, and that they can be a part of it.
