We were on a trip from Kansas City, KS to Portland, OR... Stopped in Boise, ID to fuel up and not only did the pump handle NOT shut off (which spilled about 11 gallons of fuel on the ground), but I was approached by two young girls (age 18 & 19) who had been stranded at the truck stop, wanting to get to Bakersfield. I told them I didn't know if we could help them because we were going to Oregon. I knew, however, that we would be getting a load back to California because we were going to be going home by the 2nd of May, so I asked Mike if we could help them and he said we could. Then I found out there was one more--Nemo, the brother...
It didn't matter to me, the "mother instinct" in me came out and we invited them in! Its been kind of close quarters, but we're dealing!!! I've attached some pics of our newly adopted kids...We made sure they had food (found out they hadn't eaten since Omaha, Nebraska!) and showers....The sleeping arrangements are yet to be decided... they have kinda been switching between the front seat and the top bunk. Their names are Nemo, Jessica, and Dzevada (pronounced jevada)... I'm going to hate to say goodbye to them.... only temporarily, since we plan to keep in touch!
