The Nasty Metal Spool

You might be wondering what this is. Well, this is what we ran over with our car last night on the way to Idaho. We are guessing that someone was taking a bunch of metal scraps and stuff to the metal recycling place and most of that stuff didn't make it there because it got dumped on the road. Our Subaru was tall enough to clear this metal spool but it ripped up a bunch of stuff under our car. Devin pulled off into the center of the freeway and turned off the car. When he went to see if we could pull the car further off the road, the car was dead. All the stuff that got ripped up under our car was enough to kill our car. There were quite a few cars that were all over the road, one lady's car even flipped because of all the stuff that was in the road. In no time there were firetrucks and police cars and all over. It was a mess!!! We were very grateful that this happened right before Honeyville which is close to Logan where my brother's family lives. We called them up and about an hour later Emily came and got us. Anna was a trooper and slept for the first while. But I think all the flashing lights and firemen knocking on the window woke her up. We loaded all our junk into Emily's car and left our car to be towed to Brigham City. Devin has spent the morning on the phone trying to figure out how to get our car to Orem and all the other stuff to get things fixed.
For whatever it is worth, we are all fine. We are so grateful that it was a warm night so we didn't get cold as we were waiting. We are especially grateful that Peter and Emily live close enough that they could come get us.
Life is never dull that is for sure!
