An American woman had loaded up her pickup and attached a large U-Haul trailer to it. She and her two children were trying to reunite with her husband, who is serving with the US military in Alaska. Even though the US/Canada border is closed, she was permitted to enter Canada under the exemption allowing Americans to transit between Alaska and the lower 48.

Unfortunately she picked the wrong time of year to do this. The Alaska Highway is a challenging drive at the best of times. In winter conditions it requires some real skill and experience. She was from Georgia and had never driven in snow before this! She quickly realized she was in over her head. Fortunately a good Samaritan with a heart of gold came to her rescue. All's well that ends well.

All I can say is, Gary Bath you are an amazing individual and you did yourself proud!!! What a guy! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Being Canadian I’d expect he’d apologize for not getting her there quicker. Great story and even though I live in an area that gets plenty of snow that drive must be in a league of its own.
