WHERE ARE YOU?

          WHERE ARE YOU?

    My wife and I spent a part of
her Birthday riding in the Miata
with the top down of course!
    We were headed for the Lehigh
Gorge trail at Tannery (near White
Haven) when we spotted a man
and a woman standing in a pull
off spot with the hood of their car
up.
     I found a turn around about a
mile away and headed back to see
if we might offer any aid.
     The gentleman explained he
had hit a pothole that left his tire
shredded. Being a Priority Member
of a well know Motor Club he and
his wife attempted to call for a tow
truck.
       His cell phone had no signal
but they were able to reach their
club on the one bar showing on his
wife's phone. But that was an hour
before we pulled over!
      They were just waiting and
waiting in the hot afternoon sun!
       Sometime during that hour he
called the club again and was told
that someone had come out for him
but couldn't find their car!
        Seems they didn't know the
exact name of the road on which they
was stranded even though it was
just a short distance from a well
known restaurant.
         I pulled out my old GPS
unit from the Glove compartment
and gave him the name of the road,
the exact distance from the
restaurant and even the longitude
and latitude of the spot where he
waited. The motor club spokesman
said they couldn't use the longitude
and latitude which kind of surprised
me given the fact those coordinates
indicated the member's exact spot
on this planet!
         We left him and his wife with
packs of Gummies we keep on hand
for the grandkids and promised to
notify their next of kin if we found
them there when we returned a couple
hours later.
           They were gone when we did
pass by. I suppose either the tow truck
arrived or they and their disabled
vehicle were abducted by aliens. I
hope it was the truck but I'm betting
the aliens could find them faster than their
motor club.
          Hope they're OK and that all their,
and your, News is good!
