Looking ahead down the road Brent noticed brake lights and cars pulled over  “What is going on up there? ” Brent asked.

Kris started to gear down as they approached the traffic stopped on the road.  “Don’t know, accident maybe. ”

They came to a stop in the line of cars and trucks. Kris switched on her CB and keyed the mic. She asked if anyone knew what was stopping traffic. The response came back that there was an avalanche on the road ahead about 2 miles. The best estimate was 4-5 hours before the road would be open again.

“Great “, Kris moaned.

They happened to be only a couple of hundred yards from a rest area, so Kris slipped the truck into gear and maneuvered her way to the entrance and was able to find a spot to park alongside the other trucks.

“Well, ” Kris sighed,  “Looks like we’re here for a while. ”
“I guess so. So much for my wild night in the city ” he replied with a frown.

Kris felt a pang of sympathy for Brent.  “Well we aren’t in the city, but remember -This IS ’Party Central’ she responded with a smile.  “I’ll grab us a beer. “
