    Caught in a blizzard (last part)

    By this time we were a couple of miles from our starting point-but there was nothing to help us back there anyway.These were the days prior to cell phones and we were alone with no one but ourselves to depend on.Looking back we SHOULD have retraced our steps back at this point and returned to...

It was early December 1980 and I had been out of work for most of the year with no immediate prospects of finding work. All of our savings we...
