God Bless the Florida Highway Patrol !

On our second trip with our new (to us) MH we were on Hwy 140 in the hills approaching Yosemite when the rear suspension broke and we were stranded on a Sunday afternoon. Was able to get MH to a wide spot in two lane highway, but not totally off road. Barely had a cell signal, but finally made contact with California Highway Patrol and they dispatched an officer who arrived within minutes. He placed call to Coach Net for me, but because of equipment needed it was about four hours before the flatbed arrived to haul us to Merced. But the CHP officer that first responded would not leave. He stayed until his shift was over and then a second officer arrived, and he then stayed with us until his shift expired and a third officer arrived. He stayed until the flatbed arrive and loaded the MH for transport. The flatbed tow had room for only one passenger, and thus no room for my wife. The officer said, no problem, I will give your wife a ride and follow the tow truck into Merced until everything is ok, some forty miles, which he did! This all started at about 2:00 PM and we finally got into Merced at a motel at about 7:00 PM. The officer repeatedly said he would take us anywhere else we wanted to go, but he had already far exceeded anything we could have wanted.
This whole experience was way over the top. All three of these officer went way beyond to insure we were ok and everything was taken care of.
I did have the presence of mind to get each officers name and wrote a thank you letter to their commanding officer. After their commander received my letter he then responded, thanking me for my letter, and stating a copy of my thank you letter would be placed in each of the officers personnel file.
What started out to be a very unplesant experience turned into one of the warmest and best person to person experiences I have ever had. Police officers, almost without exception, are really great people and we owe them a debt of gratitude each day.
