Ice Storm Trails Shape Winter Road Trip Tale
A family recounts a frigid January journey from Iowa toward Alabama, with weather hazards, detours, and changing plans. Missing credit cards and checks trigger a Champaign stop, while a late stop in Louisville reveals flooding and harvest activity. In Montgomery, Alabama, visits with Paul and grandchildren brighten days before a burglarized neighbor raises concern and a Florida side trip yields sea life finds and a beach walk with 387 dead Man o war.
