Alligator Alley
We are driving across Florida toward Miami, currently on a long stretch of road called Alligator Alley, with fences separating the road from the swampy alligator territory on either side of the road. We had a momentary panic when we headed back onto the road after a rest stop, only to realize that we had left the back of the U-Haul open. I was imagining cargo flying out the back of the truck, and gators snacking on our suitcases, maybe devouring a drum or some music folders... but Jen Rulon remembered that the truck was open, and we pulled over before any damage was done. Now we are playing spot-the-alligator. Our next stop is Miami!

Oh, but it was so much more miraculous than that- Jen thought that she'd forgotten her purse in the bathroom at the rest stop and when we pulled over, she bolted from the van. Just after running past all our vans she remembered where she'd put it in our vehicle, so as she turned back, she saw the back of the U-haul open. We all figured everyone in the other vans was wondering what was going on, and as she circled back to our van, WE were wondering what was going on. We all had a hearty laugh as we got back on the road. Lisa Eller
