 Merry Christmas from News Radio 78, WBBM - Chicago.

Joan left Ohio for New York 12 years ago and hasn't been home to see her family since.

Christmas comes and her husband suggests a trip back to Ohio to see her family as he has to attend some job training in that state.

So, they go.

They are driving to their destination and they get in the region of her hometown.

The area has changed a bit since she left and 20 miles or so from her hometown the map shows that the Interstate Highway is under construction and they should get off and take a smaller highway. But, the Interstate appears to go forward from there so they figure that the road has been completed since the map came out.

So, they go forward hoping to save some miles.

But, after driving for what they figure is 40 miles, and noticing that there are no exits, signs, or other cars on the freeway, they suspect something is amiss - and it is.

It's in the top 10% for this one. Be sure to listen with the family at Christmas!
