Had a scare last night

[bigmerle1966]

They were trying to get to a motel, someone gave them wrong directions, he was trying to find a place to turn around when they came to a bridge out sign. Tried to turn around on a small dead end and got way, way stuck. He says it's raining, the river is coming up and he has to go.

Which got me thinking....how do I contact the police and let them know where DH is? I did get on line and found the police department for the town he was close to.

If I had called the police in that town, would they have helped me? From now on I will always know where they are!!

Yes, they would have been able to help you and might have known where he was from the bridge being out. And if not they could have gotten his number from you and been able to help find him that way too.

And a GPS phone is a really good idea.

Oh KIM!!! Do I need to send you my phone number so you have someone to call when you are going out of your mind? You poor thing. Thank God everyone one is okay.

YES! Last night...oh boy I didn't know who to call. Of course it was late....and I wasn't thinking straight. I JUST knew DH would get hurt and then what?

I'm going to have two tired boys home tonight. I think DH was so angry at himself that he was beating himself up over and over. It was a mistake and those happen. I think I'll cook him something special tonight. Maybe my rum cake.

You know, I wasn't really thinking straight last night. You're right, the bridge out would have been a good clue. The wrecker guy told him today that it's happen several times and they need to put better signs up or a graveled turn around.

We will be looking into the GPS for sure!
