She Pulled an Old Wagon Into a Rock Shelter—Then a 10 Day Blizzard Killed 19 Travelers Outside

In the middle of a brutal 10-day blizzard, Mara Whitcomb made a decision that looked almost impossible: she pulled her old, damaged wagon beneath a sandstone rock shelter and turned it into something it was never meant to be. Outside, the storm was getting worse by the hour. Travelers disappeared into the snow. Supplies ran out. Temperatures plunged. And when the blizzard finally ended, 19 people were dead across the surrounding prairie. But inside that improvised shelter, five people were still alive. This is the story of the old wagon that failed as a wagon… but succeeded as a shelter. Watch until the end for the full story of Mara Whitcomb, the 10-day blizzard, and the survival choices that changed her life.
