Driving Miss Glenda

Tom was traveling to a job with my Aunt Glenda in the truck. Uncle Richard was in his own van headed for Waco. They were pulling a 32 foot goose neck camper as well. Tom decided to stop for butane and pulled off the highway. Both vehicles stopped but Uncle Richard went on because he didn't need butane in his van.  Richard went back the way he came because he knew the frontage road was under construction. After topping off his tanks, Tom pulled out of the station. Tom was driving and started to speed up the frontage road to enter the highway again. He topped a hill at around 60 mph. Just as they topped the hill they were greeted by a huge pile of gravel on the frontage road....the road wasn't completed yet. With no time to react they braced for impact with white knuckles. The truck hit the gravel and sailed into the air, with the camper in tow! When they landed it was mayhem....the truck was fine but the camper was pretty messed up. The fenders on the camper were falling off but amazingly the camper stayed attached to the truck and was drivable. As soon as they were able to get stopped Aunt Glenda grabbed a beer and downed it. Aunt Glenda said "If we get to Waco, I'll never ride in the truck with you again Thomas!" They were able to make it to the jobsite and Tom didn't have any passengers on the return trip.
