Planned to get gas in Mullan, Idaho when the gas light came on 16 miles away from it...going up a mountain pass. Definitely had heart palpitations! Coasted down the mountain on the red gas level line. Made it to Mullen, both gas stations closed! Got back on I-90, 5 more miles of coasting into Wallace, ID. Drive through town...complete opposite side of main street. And alas! Gas! We met another group (pictured) that was in the same predicament. Nice couple with two kids driving from Ontario.
Lesson learned.
ADVENTURE! "Braden, once when you were real little we used your cuteness to hitchhike a ride from a trucker. He told us stories all night long about athletic trainers disappearing from these parts."
