11. Great list!

Sounds like you are a Colorado driver, mentioning I-25 and i-70! You travel the mountains enough times and you are bound to get stuck. The plains can be just as bad, with blizzard conditions. Thank you so much for this wonderful list and also for all the people on this thread who have made great suggestions!
