UPDATE: They found my brother!!

[bicentennial_baby]

He just called me to ask for help, his car is stranded between 2 hills, can't get up either of them (bad roads). He's in the middle of nowhere, and I only got the name of the town, not the location, before his cell phone died.

I called the regional dispatch and gave them the town, his name, car make and model and color, and his cell #.

It's 16 degrees where he is. I'm so worried. x(

Vibes, please?

UPDATE: The Conway Police just called me, they found my brother. He's being taken to a residence to call a tow, etc. I am SO glad I made that call.

Thank you all so much. :grouphug:

[AlCzervik]

4. jeez good vibes to him and you and i hope help is on the way.

hopefully he's got warm clothing on.


;(

[bicentennial_baby]

6. I'm hoping they asked for the cell # for GPS

I'm trying not to freak out, but it's so cold there and he wouldn't call me unless he was really stuck.

7. they'll find him for sure and i bet it won't take very long and i bet you anything someone

has pulled over to help him out or wait with him.

5. VIBES ))))(((( sent.

You did the right thing.

8. When you say "middle of nowhere"...

Do you REALLY mean "middle of nowhere", or the Boston definition, which means "someplace past Woburn"?

Regional dispatch will find a cop in the town who knows the geography and the dead spots. he is going to be fine?

[bicentennial_baby]

9. No, Western MA hilltowns, I'm from out there

He's in Conway. Very deep rural, plenty of desolate roads.

I hope you're correct. :)

[Kat45]

14. I've never heard of that town, and I grew up in MA

That tells me it IS in the middle of nowhere. I'm glad they found him. :hi:

[whistler162]

15. I was thinking.....

I don't want tobe there in winter middle New Hampshire Conway area!

Glads he is safe.

[boilerbabe]

16. That's the Conway I was thinking of, too.

Am about a half-hour away from North Conway (NH) in Maine right now. It's really cold here.... Hope BiBaby's brother is OK

[SoxFan]

10. And there was much rejoicing!

[motely36]

11. YAY!

:bounce:

[AlCzervik]

12. excellent! Thanks for letting us know.

:)

[tigereye]

13. good news, BB

:hug: Not a good time to be stuck outdoors. Glad he is safe and well.

[amitten]

17. Thank God. I'm happy to hear it! n/t

[boilerbabe]

18. That was a good move on your part.

Hope he is OK---best wishes to you!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

19. Excellent news bi_baby

:hug:

My best to your brother please

[Marrah_G]

20. Oh thank goodness- you probably saved his life.

Happy Holidays Bi-baby. You just got the best gift ever.

[graywarrior]

21. Where was he?

[DS1]

22. That's pretty cool. Sounds like they know a few areas where people get stuck

I would have been found going forward and reverse up and down the entire hill to try get out.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

23. Conway, NH?

like Pinkham Notch area? he is lucky, lots of people die every year around there from things like this

[bicentennial_baby]

24. No, Conway MA, which is a very rural town with a lot of backroads

Depending on where he was, it's possible that nobody would have passed by him for hours. His plan was to walk down to Bill Cosby's farm and ask to use the phone. Luckily, that didn't have to happen.

:)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

28. yeah, it would suck to get shot

by Bill Cosby in the middle of a blizzard at Christmas time

[bicentennial_baby]

30. Our thoughts exactly!

:rofl:

Naw, Bill's really cool. He even does his Jury Duty in my town when he's called up! :)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

31. I know, but it don't mean he might not

start blasting away at noises in the dark... he might be having a bad dream about, oh, "I Spy" or something

[malta blue]

25. YAY - I just saw this,

but I was thinking about you two when I woke up this morning.

:hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

26. Aw, thanks so much. He's fine now, we talked after he got home

He was very grateful for me making the call. He called his friend Matt, who we affectionately call Squash (all 285 pounds of him, star linebacker on their HS football team back in the day), and Squash came out with his big pickup, and pushed my brother up the hill, and then followed him for 20 miles to the State HW.

I'm very happy that it turned out so well. :hug:
