Blizzard leaves hundreds of drivers stuck on highways overnight
Hundreds of drivers spent a fearful, chilly night stuck on highways in a blizzard that plastered New York’s Long Island with more than 30 inches of snow. |
Undoubtedly all geocachers on a streak or filling a calendar had the sense to stay home and end the progress they had made...right?  Then, again, would anyone admit that is why they are out there?

| I thought getting your car stuck trying to get a cache is what separated the cachers from the pretenders.... |

I got stuck last week when my car hit some snow covered ice.  I was coming around a corner on a country road and my car ended up in the ditch. I tried to dig myself out with no luck. After an hour a couple of nice ice fishermen came to help. They would not use their truck to pull me out as they were afraid of being liable for damage. I said to them, I would not sue. They still refused. I guess to many lawyers now days are making people afraid to help. 
They did give me a push while I worked the car and that was all it took to get me back on the road. I thanked the very nice guys and off to the next cache.  |

I've pulled people out before, but make them hook up the tow rope.
THat way if something breaks, it's their fault. I usually check it first though, and advise them of a better location. |
