Finally Saved

They bussed the guys out today to Miles City Montana, a three hour drive. That was the closest place they could find rooms. Cliff was so happy to get a warm place to sleep, a hot meal, and most of all , a shower. He said he took a long hot shower, changed clothes and went and found a steak house and ordered a bone in rib eye, calamari, and a beer. He sure deserved it after what they went thru. They are suppose to stay in Miles City until they get the man camp up and running. They think it will be 2 or 3 days. At least they are warm and safe and fed.

Some of the guys flew home for the rest of the rotation, but Cliff had another week or so so his crew stayed. Bet the other guys were glad to get home. Anyway I sure said a prayer of thanks that he was safe and warm. This place is no joke in the winter and I guess winter lasts all year. It's like ice road truckers.
