Patrick in Havasu Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Shep is home and safe. I've talked to him a few times, and he is doing fine. A bit sore, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Didn't really need to all get out, but I'm okay. Headed for Q, left home about 9:30 Wednesday evening (left early cause stomach was junk and couldn’t sleep). Drove about 8 hours, got tired so I stopped a rest stop and napped for about 2 ½ hours. Got something to eat and drink and took off. ½ hour later, about 44 miles west of Needles got sleepy again. Was going to fuel up in Needles and nap again. Didn’t make it, fell asleep, woke up going off road into the center divider on I-40.at 61mph (cruise control was set). Went 30-40 yards till I hit one of those cross-overs between east and west routes. TH is totaled and truck we’ll have to see, but I’m okay. Appreciate the concerns.

That road from Barstow/Yermo to Needles is one of the most boring at night. I'm glad it was not worse. Lu and I wish you the best.

Oregal1976 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Oh my, Shep! I'm so very thankful you are okay! You're definitely irreplaceable! Hope your insurance takes care of the rest of the damage so you will be able to make it back out here for the next outing. Take care!
