“Just can't say enough about how fantastic these folks are and how much I appreciate them. Friday Jan. 12, 2024, we left So. Cal for Eugene Or. to move my granddaughter to be near her parents. Normally this is a 2 day trip up and 2 days back. Day one went without a hitch. Day 2 we got stuck in snow on Mount Shasta and had to turn around and head for Reading.They 3 started out perfectly until we got just passed Medford, Oregon when the road started to get icy. After five hours of crawling I-5, the road came to a stop. Department of transportation had closed the road.We were low on fuel and were chatting with another couple on our hand held radios. They decided to use a nearby inter change as a place to get some rest. As they got off, the husband said he thought there was a truck stop he could reach by nearby side roads, and if he could find it he would let me know. Praise the Lord. He found it!About 10 minutes after he told me how to get there we arrived at Shell Family Mart at exit 163 in Curtain, Oregon. The super friendly attendant filled both my truck and my wife's. He handed us bottles of water, and a card for free coffee inside the mart. He realized that the interstate was closed and told us just to find a place to park inside his lot for no charge and stay until the road was open.I love these guys and by the way the convenience store. Is full of all kinds of goodies and useful things for the traveler.”
