The pros

1. We have a very reflective bus
2. The bus came with reflective triangles and they’re out
3. We’re ok
4. We have kambucha
5. We are off the road
6. Unlikely a trio of tractor trailers idling all night while their scared cargo squeals
7. We have a shovel and toilet paper and aren’t afraid to use them

The cons

1. Flat tire
2. Barely off the narrow, winding road
3. No cell service

We pulled off the road in the dark and decided to wait it out for morning. A couple of very loosely played rummikub games later we were out.
