“But it’s not my favorite way! I can’t go that way!”

I’ll take exits to who knows where to avoid traffic even if sitting in it is technically faster. Every time the highway gets shut down for a snow-related accident, my adventure gene lights up and we go exploring the back country. It’s never fun, but it beats sitting in traffic, and it’s never as bad as the time I got stuck on the highway in a blizzard and was stuck at 15mph for a normally 2-hour-70-mph drive that took me some 5-7 hrs to complete.. the next morning I took a perfect imprint of my license plate off the ice covering my car. Kept that in my freezer in a box for a couple years until sublimation made it unreadable.
