Pullin Over In Them Dakoters Posted by Ajax Union Blogging on February 28, 2010

Howdy y’all. I figure I really like talkin’ to y’all bout my adventures round the country. I got another one that happened just last week. I was a drivin’ through South Dakota with some load binders holdin down some tractors down back. Not my biggest haul, but not my smallest neither. Now y’all know I use all my truck tie downs for my cargo securement from www.DCCargoMall.com so I wasn’t worried none bout them tractors getting unsteady or nothing.

When alluva sudden a blizzard comes outta nowhere! They done even closed down the interstate so I couldn’t even continue the haul. Now I been through some real thick snow in my time, especially with a big haul out back, and when I got it strapped down with rachet straps and load binders, ain’t hardly nothing to worry about. So I pulled on over to and started takin a nap in the cab.

Now when I awoke, the storm had settled on down, and there was a driving going on. So I checked my rear view to make sure I was good to go, when I saw something moving on back there. I decided to go on out and have myself a look. Turns out, while I was a sleepin, a mamma raccoon had decided to lay camp with her youngins underneath one a them tractors, because it was real shady from the snow and all. With the snow all but stopped I even saw one of her babies a hangin on one a my winch straps like a koala or something. Well I couldn’t just drive on down the innerstate with them babies – they’d get squashed right quick – so I shooed em away and watched em go. The mamma waddled off into the snow with the babies comin up the rear. It was a real sight to see, y’all, perfect for National Geographic or one a them magazines. Till next time friends.
