A strange thing happened on the way to the junkyard
We were tooling along on Missouri's famous bumpy back roads with a load of heavy metal. We crossed a nasty little bridge that gave our trailer a huge "bump", and then we heard metal dragging. As Cliff pulled over, I looked back and saw a huge hunk of metal totally across the oncoming traffic lane. It didn't occur to me to take pictures until most of the stuff was back on the trailer
The situation could have been disastrous had we been meeting a car at the time; someone could have been injured or killed.
A man behind us who was taking his wife to work was wonderful, and helped Cliff get everything back on board for the remainder of the trip to the junk yard.
This is why there is a law that junk has to be covered when you haul it. And it's why we go the back roads to a small town, rather than the big city.

We've found as we get older, younger people are so willing to help when things like this happen to us. I wish I could get someone (won't call names) around here interested in selling some of the scrap iron. By the way copper brings a much high price than the iron.
Up here in NY everything has to be tied down or covered on a trip to the dump! I'm glad Cliff got some money for his scrap!
Glad it all turned out ok!

You see, you lawbreakers, there's a reason why we pass laws in this country so reprobates like yourself don't get hurt!
So glad no one was hurt!

Glad no one was hurt either by the falling or the lifting! You scofflaws you!
