Rogers

"...Rogers – who has played guitar for big names in the country music business, including Merle Haggard and George Jones – left northwestern Montana’s Flathead region on Thursday to make a trip to Calder, Idaho. He decided to take the remote Gold Creek Road across the Bitterroot Mountains, a route he had taken several times before and which he knew could shave more than an hour off the trip.

After about nine miles and with dusk setting in, the road got too snowy for Rogers’ 1996 Cadillac STS, which was loaded with musical equipment, so he decided to turn around – and got stuck in a snowbank. He checked his cell phone – no service." Full story.

Have you ever been stranded?
