It’s impressive how much effort and planning you put into recovering the truck, especially with all the challenges along the way. The toll bridge and rough roads must have been frustrating, but it sounds like you made the best of it with those refreshing river stops. I can imagine the sense of accomplishment when you finally got the Mack on its way.
It reminds me of a trip I took to Florida when we planned a family day at a water park. The drive wasn’t as rough as yours, but navigating through smaller towns to avoid traffic turned into an adventure itself. If you’re ever considering a road trip like that in the U.S., check out water park details for some great stops—it’s always nice to have a relaxing break planned during long drives.
