About an hour and fifteen minutes into our drive I asked Stuart to stop at the next rest area. The place was all abuzz about an accident that just occurred minutes before. High winds caused white-out conditions and a thirty car pile up just a few miles south of where we stopped. Truckers kept us apprised of the situation and told us it would be hours before authorities could clear up all the vehicles.
Well, they weren't exaggerating. We spent 5 hours at the Gaston, IN rest stop (officially known as Rest Area 51) before making our unconventional escape. (I'll tell you about it sometime when the statute of limitations runs out.)
The hours slowly drifted by as our stomachs grumbled with the lost hope of having a Valentine lunch in a romantic spot. However, a stranded trucker took pity on all of us and brought in his own stash of apples, oranges, and water. (Much better than vending machine food!) Thank you, kind sir, for your generosity.
Pastor Patty Rottet, since we couldn't make it to French Lick, here's a special greeting for Living Waters Assembly of God.
As you can see, there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes of making a video. Between our giggling camera operator, and the dog and cat trying to get in on the act, it's a wonder we can get anything done!
Hope your Valentine's Day was as epic and memorable as ours :)
Your one-time gift or monthly commitment to help us proclaim freedom to the captive of drug addiction and set at liberty those who are oppressed by the sex trade is much appreciated.
