This was back in 2015 when we traveled to my grandmother's birthday party. We took a rental car since our truck was too small to fit 5 people for 8 hours.
There is a train track along the way. After the train passed the gates did not go back up. There is a median right by us and it was too high to drive on it to go around.
I don't remember how long we sat there. Maybe 5 mins after the train passed. I do not remember for sure.
We are day 178 into this challenge. Man this is a fun yet tough challenge.
