Andrew Kustec was determined to march in Washington DC's "March for Life" with the "Students for Life" group from the University of Akron.
He didn't expect to be stuck on a bus in a blizzard.
Kustec says that the group's bus left DC soon after the march, but that wasn't enough.
"We hit heavy snow at about 3 or 4 (PM) in Washington, started getting on the highway," Kustec tells WAKR's Jasen Sokol, "and the clearing equipment just isn't there for the area."
But greater problems were ahead of them on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
After getting off in the Breezewood area for dinner, Kustec says the bus got back on and headed towards Ohio...but got stuck 30 minutes down the road.
He said there was enough water and snacks to go around all night, and there was even a celebration of Mass for those stuck on the roadway.
20 hours later, the group was back on the way to Akron.
