a trailer?

Once we were on our way to somewhere
We were late ; it was getting dark
It was winter and the snow was deep
There were no one else on the road
There wasnt very far more to go
Then we saw the sign
No wonder not many cars were going the same way
The road ahead was closed
It was dark
There was light from some buildings we had passed awhile back
We turned the car; heading for the buildings
Yes there was light
But no one answered our calls
The buildings were used by the rangers
But no one was there cos the road was closed
We decided to turn back
Saw a car on the road
We stopped the driver
He told us about the road closure due to the weather
Drove back 50 kilometers
It was late
Got to a motel
Rested the night
Took an alternative route the next day
Arrived happy, safe (though slower) and sound.

Was this experience a trailer to our current life's decision?
